Hand 1: I like to have some more equity when I am checkraising flops like this, unless you know that A) villain autocbets this board and B) Villain isn’t thinking enough to realize you are full of shit almost always.
Agreed. I did it because the villain seemed bad (from stats though) and my assumption was FR players were more likely to give me credit, whereas bad players come to 6m and try to “outplay” you every chance they get.
I’ll have to think of how to play this board oop, my range vs a good player is really bad here. This spot seems ripe for exploitation, yet the best thing I can think of is c/r two streets with sets.
