Betting here is okay for denying equity vs draws but he never folds better and he can x/r a lot of his draws here and put us in a rough spot. Also, a lot of his value x/c range has very little equity vs us so I'm not as worried about giving a free card as much. For those advocating a bet 100% here, what does the top of your check back range look like?
So right now I am actually thinking bet here. I think we are all assuming villain is donking with a range of sets (sometimes), 75, 7x,66, FD, SD or combo draws. If we're villain, which of these are we actually check raising turn for value? For times when hero has an overpair (and TP too probably), hero is calling another bet, so as villain we should just bet, and do the same with draws so you can setup a river bomb when you miss or for value with your sets/2P. Otherwise we (as hero) are checking back turns with hands like 78s, 67s, 66s,A7s and villain would be missing value with made hands and it's going to be tougher to bluff on the river.
So with that said, when we get checked to as hero, I think its more often a weak 7 or 7 plus gutshot or 66/88s type hand that donked flop for protection/value. Also, we need more value hands that can check-call flop bet turn for when we have FDs/SDs. Just check-calling/bet turn with 88s wont be enough combos I think.
