Nice article.

I’m a MTT player and like to check behind to turn to control the pot size a bit. The second barrel on the river does well over there as well.

In cashgames and sit ‘n go you are right about the second barrel on the turn. These plays are, especially on lower limits, working very good!

All of them?

And thanks good article as the 2nd bullet is so rarely covered in books and online articles.
