Hi danuuutz! I just have a couple of questions. Why not bet the flop? Why do you expect to extract from more hands on the turn than on the flop? Thank you:)+
Yes. I expect to get a lot more value by betting the turn and river. The player was also very fishy and I expected him to check-raise any Kx, any draw and some air and lower pairs, but I did not want to stack off on that flop. I don't believe in "protecting the hand from draws" when I end up folding it at some point after getting raised. And as u can see because I have position I get to control the size as the final pot as I wish, while also trying to narrow down the range of villain.
I usually give a lot of credit to check-raises on the turn from fish and only continue with a weak hand if I had a note on villain that he checkraised as a bluff on turn in a previous hand. In this hand I would have folded.
If he had 100bb I would have probably cbet flop with the intention of calling a small raise and reevaluating on later streets. I have mutch more room to invest chips, when a little more when deeper. With 40bb I expect him to put me all in by the turn or river a pretty large % of the time.

DeleteWhat would you do if villain CR turn?
DeleteWould you have played differently if villain had 100bb stack?
Thanks for your explanations
