Poker Video: Limit Hold'Em by Entity (Mid Stakes)

i'm lovin these videos! great job.

did you have any strict rules on bankroll size with regards to moving up or down in stakes?

Let me first say that I'm a big fan of this series, Entity.

Now, to my question. Would this turn be a good spot to check to induce? I think this player type would be good for this play. If we bet there's a good chance villain will fold junk or overcards, where as if we check I think villain bluffs with that exact range - often 2 streets. Now when villain has a pair or better I think he at least calls if we bet, but will also bet always if checked to. I think we can even get in a river check-raise after check-calling the turn, if the river comes relatively safe.

Thoughts?

Given the fact that the limper openlimped, I don't think checking to induce is a viable strategy -- he'll often have a hand like QJ that won't bet, so it's not ideal to be checking.

I didn't have any strict rules -- I think at the time I was looking to move up when I had 300BB but I was only taking shots, so if I ran bad in a shot I'd move back down. Generally speaking for non-pros I think you can have 500BB for your bankroll as long as you feel comfortable moving down if you run poorly. For pros you need a lot more, though (1000BB+).
