I raise with QAo in late position, 3x bb with 1 additional bb for each limper. Villain is 56/5 from 16 hands which is not quite enough for an accurate analysis.
I missed the flop but obviously so did villain, as its checked to me. I cbet which to my surprise is called.
The turn comes and my strategy is just to check-fold as I'm only holding A high. When its checked to me again all I can think is that villain has missed again, otherwise he would lead out betting. Despite not holding anything myself, I'm at a loss at what to do at this point. I'm pretty sure however villain has nothing so I throw out a 4bet.
I realise in these couple of examples that you're probably cringing at my way of thinking, right? Well don't worry I cringe plenty of times myself.
