interesting line on the turn. Bet there is fine, but I think betting 4$ is a little better than half pot size
If you get called, then b/f blank river or c/c are imo both fine lines
About that turn line. It is a little bit unusual. I found it on Leak buster's article "Playing out of position".
Here are some fragments from it:
[..]Being out of position makes this more difficult, but checking your top pair hands
against a single opponent will typically help you win more than if you just
lead out and bet. The primary reason is that opponents tend to continuation bet at a very high rate.
Thus, you can pick up an extra bet by checking these hands[..]
[..]The best play in these situations is typically to check and call a bet then lead the turn for around 1/2 the size of the pot.
If your opponent raises in this situation, then you can get away from your hand, but know that you've made a move to win the pot.
It's VERY rare that someone at small stakes will raise a turn bet if they've been called on the flop
and you've now lead the turn unless they do indeed have a better hand. [..]
I think it could actually work. But I also agree with you about betting 4$ on the turn.
What do you think about article?
Is it a good line at NL25, NL50, when playing OOP? (I don't mean the exact hand, but overall - OOP)
