um...you're telling me that even though no one else in the world would check with my hand here, that once i check the problem is that it telegraphs my hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

no. once you check and then bet big on the turn and the river you are basically telgraphing your hand.

[ QUOTE ]
what i find happening very often is that someone with 66 decides he has to protect his hand on the turn and makes a decent bet and then i call and then he either check/calls the river or check/folds the river but at least i got one good bet out of him that i wouldnt have gotten otherwise. or someone with QJ decides to bluff the turn. or they hit a pair on the turn and check/call two bets. or whatever.

[/ QUOTE ]

i find this never happens at all.

[TheWorstPlayer]

hmmm....what DO you think QJ does on a Q turn? check/fold?

[GLmaestro]

What do u think A4s does on the turn? (He doesn't push)

Also, what do you think K9/TT does on a Q turn?

[TheWorstPlayer]

check/call?

[GLmaestro]

Not when u bet that big. I mean what are u supposed to have as the PFR when potting the turn after checking the flop? Even if u don't have the ace in their eyes u probably outkick their Q or have QQ or w/e. Would u pot a Q turn with 88/67s?

[TheWorstPlayer]

Would I push a range that TT does well against?

You guys seem to be thinking these guys are all 2+2ers, expecting me to be a 2+2er. The fact is, they make terrible calls. And they are more likely to make terrible calls if I check the flop than if I bet it...

HAHA, this site rocks! CAll! I know you did.

[GLmaestro]

Hmm I thought stars was a rock garden, maybe it isn't?

Nowhere is a rock garden when i'm in the game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
