Im defending the BB vs SB steal. SB it´s a TAG. The standard play here it´s a CF-RT but I do Raise IP (balancing the lines). The interesting thing about this hand is the check on the turn IP. What you think to induce some bluffs river? In turn there are not many worse hands getting paid me with the "Ace" on the turn. Many hands fold here. This is a sporadic line vs reg... What do you think?

$0.25/$0.50 Limit Hold'em Cash, 4 Players

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q 2
2 folds, SB raises, Hero calls

Flop: (4 SB) Q 5 7 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, SB calls

Turn: (4 BB) A (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (4 BB) 5 (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls

Results: 6 BB pot (0.3 BB rake)
Final Board: Q 5 7 A 5
SB showed 8 Q and won 2.9 BB (-0.1 BB net)
Hero showed Q 2 and won 2.8 BB (-0.2 BB net)

Just an usual hand, no matter which of those two lines you take.
Checking the turn there is perfect, imo:f_thumbsup:!

in a video here on pokerstrategy it talked about relationship between hand strenght and line (OOP)
x/r - for value our best hands (sets., etc)
x/c - hands not strong enough to x/r but too strong to x/r bluff or x/fold
x/c - hands that are good enough to float (FD, OESD, GS+overcard)
x/r - bluffs hands are not strong enough to float
x/f - worst hands

this is not set in stone of course.
IP , as u played i think betting turn is overplaying our hand so check is only move as he showed he has some strenght, our fold equity decreases so no reason to bet flush draw.
I dont think the reason is to induce bluffs because he didnt call a raise on flop just to rebluff you on later street.

Which is the name of this video? The standard line was CFRT; with the Ace on the turn probabily I dont raise. It is true that not paying me to rebluffinf then, but he pay me on flop with a lot of worse hands. The turn it´s not good so, the only option is to wait a bluff on the river; Dont you think? I can not bet on the turn because he do not pay me any hand worse as you say, when he was a TAG.

I like the turn check here. Not extremely many worse hands can call a bet and plenty of better hands (Ax, Qy) will call. (Small pairs will call of course, but there are more Qx than, say, 5x) A good ace (or better) will check-raise making the draw to a flush more expensive. Besides, if you hit a flush you are almost certain to get in a raise OTR anyway if he has something worth betting river (if you check turn) = something worth calling turn (if you bet turn).
