The check-behind turn move
Well the players at 400 NL 6 max are WAY better than 200 NL 6 max, so I'm constantly learning and paying some learning tax to them (This is why I dont advise playing 2/4 NL 6 max until you have a 12k+ bankroll). But I consider it a price im willing to pay to become a better player. Lushang is considerably better than me, and I dumped a lot of money to him before figuring him out somewhat. Here's a good hand I had with him where I pulled a check behind on the turn to induce a bluff on the river (needless to say, it was a bad bluff on his part).
Is this a good move or should I have bet the turn?
