Line Check vs allinstevie in 8-game

[GreekStein]

as played up to turn either fold/give up ,  or check raise [looks stronger,may get him to fold a variety there]

urgh

was this worth posting?

This for me shows what it is like playing from out of position. It feels like you're always guessing. No decisions are ever easy oop and sometimes no matter what you do your options suck,especially against a good thinking aggressive player.
If you lead the flop, then check the turn, you invite a bet from our opponent, these can be a bluffs,semi-bluffs or made hands.If we lead again turn and they re-raise what do we do,if they call what is our plan on the river? so urgh wtf

I think it was worth posting because I think your suggested line is v v bad.


'If you lead the flop, then check the turn, you invite a bet from our opponent, these can be a bluffs,semi-bluffs or made hands.'

So why do you advocate sometimes reraising here?

So why do you advocate sometimes reraising here?

because the way NFH has played it up to now [the turn check] - allinstevie can call a variety on the flop,when NFH checks [shows weakness] this is gr8 opportunity to bluff or make a 2nd stab with a semi bluff or to think that T9 98 77 88 etc is still ahead..
The sizing of AIS turn bet does not make to much sense to me and it still favours imo bluffs/semi bluffs,check calling is ok sometimes as a defense against possible semi bluffs when we are oop..So if we feel that folding a marginal ish hand here is incorrect then to raise it up is an option as i'd want to charge him for his draw.

NFH had a feeling he was getting floated so going by that read a certain degree of positive expectation has got to be here isn't there?
