Great response. I posted this hand a few places and many people seemed to agree with you that I should either check call or if I am going to bet, to bet a larger amount. |

Checking behind will most likely induce a bluff on the turn and the river, very possibly both streets. The problem is that every card over a 4 may hit him and you're going to have to call a turn and river shell praying he doesn't make a pair or already didn't have one. Sure, you'll pick him off sometimes but if you take this line you really just have to close your eyes and call to showdown. I would much prefer a check call call with hands like QQ, JJ, or TT that are much less vulnerable. |

I think either c/c to get him to put money in with a busted draw/hand he's willing to turn into a bluff or bet/call something small like 1/3 pot to induce a spaz or get some value. Really depends on the villian. |

Interesting. Seems like a no-brainer from a value perspective, given all the stuff a laggier tag like that is 3betting and the overlay from MP. However you also gotta consider that the ability to raise on a lot of flops and often knock MP out of a big pot is worth quite a bit. So which factor is more important? Any opinions? |

I would wait for the turn to raise this for a few reasons:
1.) Your semibluff will be much more effective. Most players are extremely skeptical of flop raises on drawy boards, are unlikely to fold anything, and are more likely to play back at you. If you raise the turn, it looks more like you are slowplaying a strong hand and you will get much more respect. You can also get more leverage on your bluff if the turn is a scare card, AND the times he has nothing you'll make more when you give him a chance to fire a second barrel. 2.) You make more when you hit. Unless you hit and he checkraises you on the turn, which is a rare parlay, you'll make more by raising him on the turn when you hit your straight. 3.) You can bail out on some terrible cards like the Qd or Jd since you'll only be getting 4:1 on the turn. 4.) Raising the turn a lot makes you no fun to play against and can win you future pots through intimidation when opponents stop firing turns and give up instead. |

This is another spot that really depends on how your opponents play. If it is a guy who will fire a second/third barrel with air fairly often, that is a reason to just call. If it is a guy who will always put you on a draw when you checkraise this flop (which is usually a fairly reasonable assumption), it may be better to checkraise to induce action. Also, it obviously depends how often your opponent bets the flop and what his preflop raising range is. In a vacuum, I think its probably close between checkraising and check/calling vs. an unknown player. I would typically lean towards checkraising and value betting the whole way unless the board becomes particularly sketchy. You will often get called down by king and queen high as well as 3x. Also, it is important to consider your overall distribution of hands when you checkraise this flop texture. For a lot of guys, they will checkraise this flop with any gutshot for example. If your checkraise range here is any gutshot and Ax+, then your range is gonna be imbalanced and your opponent (assuming he is adapting correctly which may not be a reasonable assumption) will have an easy call down with K/Q high and a profitable rebluff with some weaker hands. So if you want to checkraise gutshots here vs. an opponent who adapts reasonably well, you also need to checkraise more of your marginal made hands, like 5x, 3x and maybe even something like KQ. A lot of opponents will fold this texture too often even if your range is skewed, so against such an opponent this type of balance may not be necessary. |
