H3 - Same V from H2, I like the check. It simulates what you did in H2. Allows him to act like an idiot. But I only like the check because of the previous play.
H4 - I like a XR on the flop with bottom set better in general vs the fish. Way more likely both call. Neither are folding with two draws there. You can even XR small to build the pot. I think you could have made more. But at the very least XR turn. When he bets $50 he has something decent. I do think he has 2 pair actually and was worried about the straight.
You think that he thinks I called $50 on the turn with a gutshot?
Leading flop and check raising flop are options
Calling flop and leading turn so they dont check behind is an option. I like this line better if the LP had bet the flop instead of MP.. Since MP is the bettor, its more likely it wont check thru. If LP had called the $50, I'm check raising the turn for sure. I probably just shove.
My line was read based after seeing MP limp hands like K6, J8, and Q5 all unsuited and bet TP. Hes a fish but Im not sure hes bad enough to call a check raise with those hands. IMO, you have to let these guys think they are ahead with their garbage TP. Clearly if he will stack off with any TP, then I played it less than optimally.
