Default Re: big drop oop - standard or spewage?

we're leading the turn b/c we have some fe on the double barrel, where as we have little on a c/r.

Are you making this statement specifically in regards to this villain, or generally? If it is a general statement, I'm not really seeing how this is true - if villain calls he is getting about 2.3:1... these odds are not good at all, I feel that there is good FE against a lot of players here.

Am I completely misinterpreting this?

The turn CR doesn't increase your FE much in comparison to the risk. Furthermore, villain looks like a bad player which means A) he won't drop a marginal hand often on the turn, B) he will pay off on the river if you hit, C) he may have made a strong hand on the flop and not bothered to raise (good players do this from time to time to so I ain't hating), D) He is less likely to raise your Turn bet with a marginal holding - I just don't see any real argument to take on the added financial risk that a check/raise has over a turn lead.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

What about if you are in position, and villain donk bets you after he c/c your flop cbet? Is pushing in this situation just as spewy?

i'm saying that in this particular scenario, if he bets the turn when checked to he is not usually folding

I think its even more spewy as a donk means he either has a strong hand and is protecting against draws, or he has a marginal hand and wants to know where he is at (if its a small bet pricing himself in for a draw you don't want to raise this either since you have a draw to the nut flush). If he has a strong hand we can call and expect to get paid off on the river if our flush hits; if he has a marginal hand and we whiff we may be still be able to steal the pot on the river.

My advice in this hand is very passive. I think turn aggression is very important and is very underrated; and even though we don't have a strong read I just think what we have seen of villain's play we should really discount the FE we think we have; and the fact that we're the preflop raiser it may seem like we're scared and going for pot control with a pair as opposed to drawing to a flush - which means we'll get a bet paid off on the river if we hit.

I'm not sure why you potted the flop, seems unnecessary. As played that is a really bad turn card for you. It just nails his range. You shouldn't c/r this type of player though. They prob. won't fold JT/T9 type hands once they bet. Just lead turn for 60-70.

If they aren't folding, then clearly c/c is better.
