A lot more information is needed to answer this. What are the suits? This is important to know, if flush draws are possible. Also what are the stack sizes? If they are 50 BB or less, I probably dont want to take this line with any hand, since I can just go bet, bet, bet and still get stacks in on the river, if I want to.
Meant to write 20 BB ooppps sry bout that.
The opponent cbets flop 75%
there is no other information available, as is the case when playing randoms in a tourney format.
You have his range and his flop c-bet tendency
If we only do this with hands that beat him
We become predictable and lose value on our good hands
check raising him with less than premium cards adds value to our bad hands
Even if you did flop top pair as in your example and he cbet and you flat call.
You let him set the price to draw out on you or he checks to get the free river card.
And if he hit or not we have no idea and we will end up paying him off
check Raising gains information
Also Represents strength
example Villian did flop top pair mid kicker and continued with his cbet
You check raise him 2.5x his bet
He is either gonna fold or believe he is behind and check it down.
So what do you believe is a good range for this specific concept against amatuer/professional poker players that tend to Continuation bet a fair percent of the time?
There is no wrong answer as poker is constantly evolving.
I like your thoughts and line of reasoning
But we rarely get enough information
PFR VPIP help us understand his opening range and what he bets with and can be abused by reraising BIG preflop.
But I find people more willing to shove QQs preflop than to call a bet on the flop.
Preflop is coin flippy but what if i flat called with 56 against qq
A 10 4 or K 9 2 flop 789
Sure I was a DOG to win preflop lol
Now the Queens play dead on the flop!!
