Inducing a bluff

[private joker]

Commerce 40/80. Game is playing very very tight and it's not that great, but we're about to break (and unbeknownst to me I'm about to move to an awesome game for the last 2 hours of the night).

Folded to me in the CO, I open AQ. SB calls, BB folds.

Flop 855. Check, I bet, he calls.
Turn A. He checks, I check?

(Plan is for him to bet the river and I raise any card that isn't an 8, T, or J.)

It is? When/where did he say this? Sure you aren't mixing it up with his c/r the river when you whiff a turn, c/r?

Justin has broke his vow of silence.

I do both of these things, a lot. And, by "a lot", I certainly do not mean "with optimum frequency".

In PJs hand, I don't raise the river all the time, either.

The reason why I started doing this all the time a few years ago is that I play with a bunch of regulars all the time. By checking this turn with strong hands, it made it so I never have to pay off with a hand like QQ, but I also get to valuebet it on the river (and 44 will call).

I think it's the type of play that has a lot more benefit if you play in a game where everybody knows you fairly well.

can you either fold to a c'r on the turn or get c'rd by a worse hand?

b/c to me sb looks like a weak ace, a small pair or a 5 (Assuming the sb isn't aggressive but just weak/tight).

i think this might not be the place to induce since you have a good amount of value to get if he'll call down w/ a pair / ace.

but it really just depends on the sb. how passive is he/she?

how tight? (would he/she fold a low pair now?)

if the sb is the right kinda person (where a c'r isn't easy to play against) then inducing is fine.

I don't know I'm missing some inside joke, but yes I check behind a lot of hands that totally miss here too.
