flop c/r

[disjunction]

When I first read the hand I thought you were the BB, the fish was the SB, and the good player was last to act for some reason. I liked the cr there.

I think he is too. I donk bet in this situation, with such holdings often.

something about this was different though. when faced with the option of betting the flop i felt my hand was too weak to bother and i loved my chances of getting the free card. when good player bet and fish called though i loved my chances of a weird squeeze play where good player folded a 4 or 3 on the turn and i bet until fish missed and folded. my flop c/r not only exhibits the sort of strength needed to make good player fold, but builds a pot to make my bluff more profitable and have to succeed less often. obviously when i hit the 5 on the turn that was good, but it changed the direction of the hand and turned my impending river bluff into a bluff catcher.
