Checking turn also seems ok since it allows villain to bluff IP. Not sure we get 3 streets from anything aside from Qx which we're sorta repping by betting again.
I was thinking this too, but I think Gareth's line is best against loose-passive players. If they're going to call or take a free card with a draw, we'd rather they called. Against more aggro players, it's better to give them room to bluff. I'm not 100% sure what to expect from an unknown in a $50 multientry, maybe check his location, but I think I'd err towards optimizing vs loose/passive.

Lots to learn. Just trying to look at an “easy” spot and see if there is room for improvement.
I'm still playing Zoom everyday. If you want to let the powers that be at CR know you'd like to see more of my stuff I won't stop you ;).
I know this is a complete tangent to this thread but im sure myself and many others there would like to see more contnet. I love your anlytical approch to the game and the way you explain reasoning behind your plays.

Good call on the location check and letting it help to decide the line to take. I miss being on sites where all 8 villains don't always say “United States”.
