What's your plan on the turn and later?

No.

Ill do it sometimes in position to see what happens on the turn. But you should never check call a bluff with nothing.

Check raise at the least, but I prefer not to do this with no outs.
Me? I always tell the truth.

Even when I lie.

I don't do it, but people do this oop floating crap against me and it works sometimes, so I think it's a semi valid strategy...at least if you play the same person a lot. but I generally like the c/r on the flop more too.

Nah, I prefer a C/R or fold. But overall, I hate bluffing so I try to not do too much with air, except c-bet it.

Check raising is your best bet. No pun intended.

pair does not equal air obv

pair/p = air

actually checkcalling the flop and leadbetting the turn is much more ev than checkraising.

It lets you see if you hit a turn card, and its better risk/reward.

However, this isn't a line I would use with absolutely nothing. I like to have a weak hand like overcards or a missed small pocket pair.

I agree with renton, but I have to have outs, or have the possibility of outs if the turn hits the right way. and then I bet on the turn. but all this depends on the opp.

if I'm playing a weak op, and think he's c-betting with nothing, and I've fairly solids reads on him, I prefer to call the flop and lead/reraise the turn.

I agree with Renton here. It takes specific reads, and I don't do it often, but I would also do it with air - a nice 3/4 pot bet on any turn, the scarier the card the better, and it's usually mine.

Sometimes. Rarely, though.

I'd be much more apt to RAISE with it.

I do it a lot against some opponents, although I like to mix in check/raising too.

i do it a lot vs opponents who are very aggro preflop but have a tough time firing multiple bullets.

someone raising preflop w any 2 when folded to u...

call preflop

check-call flop

check/fold turn

"value-bet" river

this wins a ton of pots in my experience
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
