Postflop:
Lead vs. check/call
Advantages of leading:
- we don't have the situation that it gets checked-around on the turn in case someone bets the flop with a draw and we can effectively double-barrel the turn for value
- we get an informational advantage (if someone raises our bet we have an easy fold, whereas we have a guessing game by just check/calling
Disadvantages of leading:
- we can valuetown ourselves and have a awkward situation OTT if both players decide to come along
Advantages of check/calling:
- we keep our opponents' ranges a little bit wider (gutshots may fold the flop right away to a bit)
- we make them even semi-bluff barrel these hands vs. us because they give themselves foldequity
Disadvantages of check/calling:
- we play a guessing game most of the time whether our opponent(s) is/are semi-bluffing or not.
- we always have to fold to a riverbet without any specific reads
Taking all these points into consideration.. I liked the lead OTF a bit more. What do you think?
(as played the turn should be an easy x/f)
