well i block 3 high so checking back is ok.
On a serious note, my thoughts:
you cant cbet much on this texture, you will lose money cbetting air, hands like 45o for example. so you need to check back lots of hands. checking back weak top pair is a fine play imo.. And if you dont check back some top pairs, they can turn lead and overbet quite hard, its is very difficult to play vs that. additionally, calling a c/r with top pair weak kicker is a very tough spot. Its much easier to play this hand checking it back and it balances the bad hands u have. It's not like your ever going to go for more than 2 streets value with this hand in any spot unless you get a good runout. Those air hands that cant bet flop profitably can win somehow with a delayed cbet at some point that is balanced well.
There are a few retarded regs at nl50 who cbet 85-100% and i don't know how they survive in the player pool more than a week but they play everday amassing 1000bb stacks and suck shit i will fucking kill them and put salt on their crops. |
