Right but you allow his whole flop call range (huge) free equity when you check turn. I want to be careful and not say "charge him" because people freak out at that kind of lingo but a better way of saying it is:
"If a ton of his range has decent equity vs us, may or may not bet turn, and will likely only bet river improved, we should just bet turn ourselves"
I used to check this turn as a standard and then rage tilt when the 4th spade rolls off and then rage tilt even more when villain shows down 9
9x or whatever ******ed hand he has with a
. This is why we can check some of our
hands bc we don't need to protect our equity near as much and we fear less rivers.
When I started betting these turns I saw a marked improvement in my wr at the micros, and it has made live play much easier (and I am fairly sure more profitable)
Also recall that flushes are really hard to make in a 2 card game. It took me a lot of plo hours but basically i just never think anyone has a flush in nl anymore and I am usually right. (In general people way overestimate flushes)
Finally, there is alot we can do with our sizing in spots like this. Sizing is key.
