Hero defends the Big Blind and the flop goes check-check. The Turn is a blank. Modern theory suggests Hero should 'Probe' bet at a high frequency here. Why?
- Checking twice is an 'L-self' error in the profit equation. (under this line)
- The opponent's checking range on the flop is 'capped' and lacks strong hands.
- Hero has the 'Nut Advantage' on almost all turn cards.
- Probing forces the opponent to maintain their MDF with air.
