Q about Stox' line

[frenchpignouf]

Stox uses this line if the board becomes quite coordinated with the turn card and the lines b/f and b/c are close.


In his book stox gives the example of 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB against a steal from an agressive CO with the board Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] . CO can raise the turn with a GS or a FD. Stox seems to think it is better to give a free card than pay 3BB when we are behind, especially if CO is dumb enough to semi bluf. It is true if CO has a FD with 15 outs we don't give up much if we give a free card. In order to blance this play, we can c/f the turn with a bluf on the flop, for example T9 with K83 on the flop. But Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is not good for bluffing imo. Maybe we can also c/r the turn sometimes.
