Here are the underlying conditions of my question:
(1) you are the pre-flop aggressor
(2) you have the opportunity to cbet with no one acting yet on the flop (and likely others to follow)
(3) you have no pairs made on the draw, but you do have a flush or straight draw on the board
Under what conditions would you semi-bluff the pot? Things to consider:
- other players post-flop aggression factor
- other players' tendency to float the flop & bet the turn
- board texture
- stakes (NL2 vs. NL10 vs. NL25 as an example)
If you semi-bluff the flop, someone calls but no made hand on the turn, would you barrel again on the turn (assuming nobody raises your semi-bluff).
Would you semi-bluff almost all of the time? What conditions would have to be present that you would either check the flop (assuming everyone checks to you) or fold to a donk bet?
------
Followup question: if you weren't the pre-flop aggressor, how often would you raise on a semi-bluff if the pre-flop aggressor cbets? Or is the better standard play to float the bet with intention to take action on the turn?
I know... lots of questions. Just wondering what the thought process is around these plays. Working on incorporating this into my play and wondering how to pull it off...
