Playing the blinds with a good (but not great) hand

i think leading can be good, but it creates a lot of balance problems. check/deciding turn auto balances, and i think it makes our opponent's hand easier to read in some ways.

leading turn is a bit weird because it forces us to eliminate turn c/r and river c/r from our game almost completely, and it becomes really difficult to balance ranges on the river as well. for that reason i find that it's sort of impractical, specially since game theory suggests we probably don't lose a ton by checking everything on the turn.

This is a great post. Thanks. That at least puts me on the right track to figuring out these spots.

So generally, im playing on if I catch *anything*, where anything can be backdoor draws + an overcard or something but im still usually folding if I dont (player dependent obv).
