I like this one.
If he wants a call (with a T or flush) he either bets 1/2 pot or near full pot.

Jimmy, his range here is usually going to be Tx/air so your rationale for liking this play is illogical. I don't think he's going to fold a ten unless he thinks youre a huge nit so I don't like it.
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

I think a better and more fun line is betting 20 again to induce a raise from that range, and then 3betting huge. You are bound to get more credit/most tags feel horribly owned in that spot.

whether i like it or not depends on if you think this bet is intended to make him fold a 10 or if you think he has air/pairs alot and this bet will force him to fold

also, nutsinho's line is baller because he has to fold air AND a 10.

i like a flop lead on this flop about 100% of the time that you call preflop.

also as a generality, i find that river check raises that aren't ALL-IN get very little credit.

also i find thata river check raises where you have a very VERY wide range (i.e. any two cards on this river), don't get any credit either.

Yeah I'm starting to understand this now. I thought that river checkraises that were kind of small looked more strong, but I was wrong.

Yup your are right!
Maybe it's just me, but I find his river bet funny (i.e. not value bet)

i like a minbet better for nutsinho's line. We're going to lose a lot when he just calls us with mid pair if we bet 20.

Do you take this line with any other hand as well?

Some I get, some I don't get.

1. The underpairs, middelpairs, overcards I think I get;
Primarily you don't want to get drawn out by a checking villain with a draw (incl overcards).
Secondly as villain won't bluff raise this flop often, you can easily lay down your hand when you're raised.

2. That second argument (I assume) is also why you're doing it with a draw, combined with just lots of FE.
Follow up question; what's our turn plan when we're leading i.e. JsTs on the flop and the turn bricks?

3. The sets, 2 pairs, overpairs I don't really get;
To me it seems like villains range is so weak, that a lead with these looses a of c/r value. Also, the hands that are going to raise our lead, mostly c-bet and follow up on our c/r anyway.

How often do you expect a villain with a 8+ draw to check behind the flop?
(mine rarely, but they usually very bad)
