Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 4012931, member: 88730"] So this is how I approach these spots in general. If someone is passive to somewhat passive, then I just bet/fold here. I don't expect these players to bluff often enough to warrant c/cing or calling down. I'm just giving them free equity, even if they have say QQ/JJ in this spot. It's just pointless to do, and checking will end up w/ the general same result (maybe they call one street). The general WA/WB argument assumes you won't get bluffed off your hand often enough. That's just not true. So if I'm facing an OK reg, someone I don't think is capable of multiple street bluffs in this spot, I lean heavily towards C/C. The WA/WB applies here and I don't have much fear of getting blown off my hand. Against aggressive, or good regs, I usually will check/call and lead the turn OOP in single raised pots. Against aggressive opponents, I can get them to bet their entire range applying WA/WB, and generally unless they are hyper aggressive they won't bluff raise the turn or bet the river as a bluff. Sometimes I will just bet/fold against them as well, but like everything, it depends. Rarely will I c/c, and then check/hope on the turn against a competent player. 3-bet pots it depends on stack depth and texture a lot because I don't want to commit myself on the turn unnecessarily. But like a lot of things in poker, it depends. These are just my general guidelines. WA/WB when OOP has to be in spots where you can't get bluffed off your hand. If you're WA and someone pushes you off a hand when you have 80%+ equity vs them, that's a travesty. [/QUOTE]
