Yeah, replacing the small PP with 6x for blockers and 2pair/trips outs.
For hands that cbet then check turn to call river, how many would you have - do QJs+QTs sound reasonable here, should there be more/less, should they be stronger/weaker?
What comes to mind here from villains perspective (assuming a runout that doesn't change things too much from the flop), is that if I bet the flop and villain flats, then I check back the turn, he can:
1. Have checked the turn with something strong, expecting me to bet again, then when I don't he leads the river for thick value
2. Have checked the turn with a hand like JJ, now after I show weakness checking the turn back, he leads the river for thin value against TT/99/78/89.
3. He can have checked the turn to c/r something like a turned FD or T9/JT/79 then I check the turn back and he decides to lead the river as a bluff.
He's got quite a wide range in other words, he can be pretty strong, can be airballing completely, or he can also be somewhere in between. So I'm a bit stuck as to what hands to check the turn with planning to call a river lead - there's a cap to how strong they can be otherwise I give up value with stuff I'd rather bet the turn with, but betting stuff like QJ/QT on the flop is going to somewhat weaken my checking range, so if I can bet flops with say TT/JJ planning to check turn and call river, perhaps that is better???
