Now if it still goes check - check on the turn and he doesn't hit the river, i can probably put in the same small bet and get looked up by A hi, getting the same one street of value. On the other hand by checking the turn I give him an opportunity to hit his full house and stack off, while if I do bet the turn there is a good chance that he will fold right there.
Because I have tried to bluff many fish off these types of hands, I know that they very often call with them on both the turn and river. (And as a result, I don't bluff in these spots anymore)

Yes one of the reasons we bet bigger on the turn is so that we can shove the river, and instead of worrying that the opponent will see through this, it's better to just balance our range.
Overall it was a good video, I know they can be tricky to make
