the reason for this is that we dont need him to fold all that often for betting>checking

this is because his hand range in this spot is polarized towards JJ-22, JT, T9, 98, 87, 76 with a few combos of QQ-AA thrown in.

against this range if we get it in we r still only about a 4 to 1 dog which while bad isnt terrible. Also, the majority of these hands r folding a substantial % of the time as we are repping AQ+ with our turn bet.
wow this seems so foreign to me. thank you for sharing man. what changes if you have position and are checked to on the turn?

Also...

So, for example, do you mean if you cbet the flop which has 2 spades and villain calls and the turn brings the 3rd spa
de you bet again here?
i consider the third spade hitting to be a scare card for our range rather than villain's. If we are the PFR our villain is def more likely to have a spade draw than we are in his range. If we bet when the spade card hits we are reppping combo draw/TPTK/Overpair/As x/ air/ set/made flush in about that order of importance. So against this range of ours a thinking villain is likely going to muck mid pair no spade but call with anything better, a range which really isnt all that different from his check/call of our cbet on the flop...

conclusion: betting the turn when a flush hits as the PFR is probably not good without a specific read given we have little to no outs.

scare cards for our range: non spade A K Q J + anything which actually hits our hand is what we consider betting.
