    Default Looking to push my edge with mild draw

    I'm a full ringer who has switched to 6max, and am looking to optimize my semi-bluffing. General strategy question other than specific HH.

    100bb stacks, villian is decent sTAG or LAG or semi-fishy semi-LAG, no history and not many hands. I raise AQ, he calls IP; flop JT4, I pot, he calls; turn is blank, I should c/r right?

    yeah if youre gonna continue, check shove is best. you should be doing this a fairly small percent of the time though. 6max isnt about just shipping it in with 6 outs+ all the time because your opponents never have anything. they often do, and will often call you with it.
    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    Thanks. As I've been watching CR vids now something that struck me almost immediately is how if they have decent outs and decent FE and the pot isn't small then they're looking to be the aggressor. Seems like they don't ever like 'giving up' their equity, which folding here strikes me as being since I could be up against a few draws or weak pairs.

    CR ai on turn with 4 good outs, 10 if you're lucky? Really?
    I would almost never do that unless villian was an habitual floater combined with a low went to showdown stat.

    Lets say you have 8 outs on avg, if you check raise all its going to be at least a pot and a half size bet which means villian has to fold at least 50% of the time just to make it a break-even play.

    I think it depends what stakes you play, it works better the higher up you go where people can fold top pair & it gets your big hands paid off to, but at low stakes imo you dont have the fold equity to make these plays very often esp against fairly unknown players.
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

    Assuming it needn't coincide with my valuing line, you like a bet/bet/shove or a bet/bet/bet leaving about 25/30bbs behind?

    If we pot flop and close on turn doesn't that makes us all in on river pot or less?

    Sure.

    Sounds like you prefer to bet pot on flop/turn pretty much always then so you can shove river.
