Hero: sick line
Miffed, won't you prefer a c/r on turn instead of $40 bet? We would get more value from LAG villain, no?
I prefer the threat of an oop turn bet, meaning im 100% shoving the river (or at least thats the threat to our opponent on the turn) Someone else pointed out as well im taking this line with sets boats etc and tp in a lot of spots against steals in lp battles

Also, i find too many players check behind on the turn and then are intent on calling a river bet, so we lose all our fold equity and threat; we have to tip our hand strength oop also (unless of course we c/r the river as in high stakes games)
Whereas a turn bet sets up us acting first on the river and forces our opponent into all the big decisions for their stack.

however, i accept a lot of people like a turn c/r, i just dont because a turn c/r commits you regardless i.e if you get shoved over. While a turn pot bet is threatening but not strictly commited (PNL will say we are just short of the commitment threshold and can fold with only 20-25% of our stack in but the threat of a shove ever present)
