Slowing Down a Lead Bettor and Check Raising the Turn
Hello,
I just want to know if how often does a call in position slow down a lead bettor in 6-handed high-stakes online games? And do you think players should expect more bluffs? How about big pots with weak hands, how common are they specifically where players are having a feel on the board texture and then go on in aggression or otherwise?
By the way, about the check-raising the turn without a super strong hand, is this common? It’s very important for me to know as I believe the turn is the most crucial street and it’s actually hard to play one pair hands if you don’t trust your opponent that much.
Thanks in advance. I hope to hear from you in no time.
All the best,
Albert
Albert,
In high stakes games, a call doesn’t slow down the lead bettor all that much unless the caller is a tight player. You definitely should expect more bluffs. Big pots with weaker hands are somewhat common based on the playing style of the players.
Check raising the turn without a hand again depends on the player. “Durrrr” I could see doing that without blinking. The same with Phil Ivey applies. Phil Hellmuth I wouldn’t expect that out of him that often as he plays very tight and solid.
