So my question here is, what do you guys think of the check OTT?
My reasoning behind it is that villains range is very wide. He is calling a BTN steal so hands such as JT, 65, 89, Q9 and Q8 all fall into villains range. I therefore wanted to control the size of the pot so that I could call up to a pot sized bet OTR. On the other hand, I feel like a bet may have been a good option here to protect against any flush draws or incomplete straight draws (Jx or Tx).
