Blind battle... how's my line?

    Default Blind battle... how's my line?

    No read on villain.

    My thought process is that if I bet the turn then villain is folding this most of the time, but if I check the turn then villain is betting here most of the time...so I go for the check raise (not standard by me at all)...but his actions afterwards confuse me.

    Should I be embarrassed by how I played this hand??
    ... is this any good for metagame purposes?

    Don't worry too much about results.
    I am just wondering if my check raise on the turn is gross or not?

    I like the turn check/raise. However, if I go for the c/raise on the turn and opp pushes then they usually do it with the nuts. But then I play $25nl.

    I agree, I'm not sure I call this push.

    I like this. I could see villian floating with AK here and thinking his hand is good on the turn. Any hands that beat you are so very unlikely.
