You said villains checking back range is not great. Dont you think checking back here with ace high flushes or something like QxAc i OK to induce action?

Short answer, yes, rarely.

Basically- if you think the value you get later is better than the value you get now, then you check back. Given how many hands will not fold on the flop, you're way more likely to get better value on the flop. So, its ok, but not best, in general.

You said that when you would have AcXy here on the river, you would rather C/Bluffcatch vs. Villain (vs. hands like KcJy,KcTy...) when you would have the note that he is not val.betting thin.
That sounds definetely good for me, but wouldn`t it be more +ev to just bomb the river?
Given the fact that you are not so capped like Villain is and hence he should have a hard time to call with his 8x. 99/TT-hands?

btw.,
another great short

Probably b/c they are are of the fact that their opponents are knowing that they are perceived not too strong....

u say there are some value hands that hero can have, but do you think that his range is still mostly hands that were giving up that now are trying to bluff?

Time Link to 00:07:08

you say that hero's crai is obviously a bluff because we dont have a good hand.

earlier u say that if you were hero you would probably lead out again on the river expecting to get him off some weak sd value hand.

so if leading out is a good bluff that expects to get a decent amount of folds, then why cant hero have a strong hand when he crai if he would expect to get a lot of folds with a lead?

basically, what line would you take if hero had 56o?
