quick flop decision in 3bet pot

[nazahl]

no hud as usual these days. been 3betting villain semiregularly but nothin too crazy w/out much problem. seems like he has a pretty tight calling range for 3bets, so I expect him to actually have a hand here.

does anyone like checking back the flop here from time to time? really don't mind giving a free card cause I'll usually have him reverse dominated if he catches an Ace, or he'll have 3 outs.

I like checking here, if you're betting it should be with the intention of calling a raise/shove because he's probably not gonna c/c with worse hands if you've been 3-betting him a decent amount pf like you say you have been.

I think I'd rather bet the flop, and check behind on the turn. I suppose if there's lots of history, you gotta start thinking about mixing up your play.

I check flop for various reasons. 1 being he won't call with a worse hand. Another you have mentioned already. Also consider pot control and his hope arising that 99 could be good.

nazhal- If he is behind in this hand he is drawing at most likely 2-3 outs. The same goes for you.

[loosbastard]

I check a lot here.
