Oh sorry everybody I forgot to explain my bet sizing.
On the flop, I bet for value, but on the turn, I actually expect him to have a 7 because of his flat call on the flop. I would never do this at even 10nl+ but down at 2nl I really believe that people just don't think about merging their range, or bet sizes, and the AVERAGE 2nl player underbets everything all the time anyway. So I feel as though I can feel him out with a slightly smaller bet, it lets me get off cheap and forces him to raise his good hands and let me get away from betting the river for him too.
Again, I can see why this would be really bad to do at even 10nl, but at 2nl, nobody cares about what your doing... and if they do, it's so rare I am willing to lose money to them.
This is an adaption for the limit im playing, and I really don't advocate it at any other limit... people are just playing 2nl for fun really, so I can take advantage of that in small ways like this.
If he just flat call here and a blank came on the river, I would actually bet out around 80-90% of the pot for value and still not expect to be easily 'read'.
Actually, I'd like people's opinions on this, given all what I've said, do you still think I should bet more on the turn? People don't raise the turn all that often at all, and the typical line for any draw is c/call all day and donk/bet when they hit. Very few people semibluff, and if they are going to, I give them credit for understanding it is better to do it on the flop.
