I couldn't disagree more with any of that. The chances are >75% he is fooling around with two overcards. You have to
absolutely bet the turn anyway unless an A K falls or you are giving him a potentially very expensive free card, so aggressively pounding out another small bet on the flop is a small price to pay to keep control of the hand. This is where I would make a difference between 1 bet and 3 raise cap as opposed to 1 and 4 raise caps, like they have at alot of casinos on the strip here in Vegas. I am closing it out with my raise, don't have a chance to lose anymore preflop if I am behind and I keep control of the hand to compensate me for my poor position relative to him. If a low card other than A K falls on the turn after I cap the flop and I bet and am raised again I dump it and give him credit for a high pocket pair
then.
And then you say to checkraise the turn when the second 10 falls, no way even a reasonable player bets after you check the >=51% of the time you need to make that profitable after your checkraise on a 10 high flop.
I honestly can't imagine myself playing this any other way until the turn raise, then there could be some discussion of if you reraise or call it down. I'm certainly open to more criticism/discussion though, that's why we are here. Anybody else?
