This was kind of a gameflow thing, but I’d been playing pretty aggressively in position, lots of triple barrel bluffs and thin value bets. This is just a spot where I can be expected to bet a lot, and it didn’t make sense that Villain would randomly take the lead if he actually had the nuts. It’s a perfect spot for a check-raise. My guess is he’s either blocking/value betting or turning something into a bluff, but in any event my pair of 4′s is no good.
