Just to make sure, because we're more likely to semibluff on this type of board with something like Q9, rather than c/c, we should also be c/r our good hands? And because our peeling range is pretty narrow and confined to mid pair (ish) hands?

What would you do on such a board with a hand like AHeart4Diamond? c/c and see what comes on turn?

Quick question about your HUD. Is there any particular reason you don't show AF or AFq on your HUD? I mean, sure it converges slowly, but so does WTSD/W$SD. Is just easy to use it to differentiate the fish if there loose passive or loose aggro or the TAG fit/fold rakeback grinders.

I'm certainly open to tinkering with the HUD. For a long time I had more on it than I really used. I stripped it down as you see it now and have been happy with it recently. I think the aggression numbers and the fold blinds to steal and the steal stats would be the three that I'd add on, but then all of a sudden I get up over 10 or 11 different things, which I feel like is too many.

I don't think that our peeling range is confined to 'mid pairish hands' its just basically we don't peel this board 100% so there is less merit in "protecting" our peels by waiting til the turn for value. Our flop call here has at least some meaning. Compare that to a 3 bet pot where you raised in MP and the flop comes 234, I highly doubt anyone check/folds that flop with any 2 cards, so a peel means basically nothing (unless you give it meaning by raising with some range there).

might it be better to c/r the turn as a semi-bluff with the 66 paired to give you cover,its a brave man that calls with what he has.
I suspect they do respect turn raises?

I don't know what specific hand (KQ) he has though - just a range of reasonably strong hands. My checkraise flop then check turn line would look pretty suspicious, so I suspect he'd either check back, or bet/call down with almost all of his range. With KQ or smaller pairs checking back seems fine. With Ax he'd bet/call down. I could even get 3bet by strong hands, other draws, or air since my line looks so oddball. Then I'm putting in way more money than I want to. Plus, if he had a hand he would have considered folding the turn if I'd bet, now with my check I don't get that fold out of him.

I'd say in general they don't respect turn raises much these days, especially in blind vs blind battles.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but does it mean that we should c/r all the hands that have SD value on this board (all pairs, good A-high)?
