Nice, keep us posted on those updates!
I don't think I'm checking here ever but I don't often check my draws, especially OOP.. Do you suggest this because it's a three way pot or to string the limper along? The only reasoning behind what I did was being OOP. I should have instead considered all of the factors, like my implied odds and lack of fold equity here.. I didn't expect him to fold so besides simplifying my decisions I'm not sure what I was thinking this would accomplish.
Correct. Because the limper is likely a fish AND that flop texture is going to hit him in some way, he's much more likely to come along if the CO bets. Depending on how bad he is he may come along with 4 way straight draws, and bottom middle pairs, etc... So it just increases your direct odd chances. But if the action is bet/raise, that's much less likely.
And yes, like I said, even MW if you were in position I'd be more inclined to bet. But sandwiched, I think it's better to c/c with a lot of your range assuming your opponent isn't some stud that can always push you off this range. But honestly it doesn't matter much in this spot. And yes, if you were HU's OOP, I think betting here is fine as well.
