i play the following way. what do you think about it
When i am on the blind, and i am heads up in checked pot and have no chance to win the hand in showdown i like to ALWYAS bet the pot(2BB). Intention is to check/fold rest of the hand no matter what.
I believe it is immediately +EV (people play tighter in 2-way pots than they should be in HU play) and additionally it may help to build aggressive image of hero for observant opponents.
few examples:
effective stacks not important(say 100BB) 6max(or w/e) PL/NL
i play mostly PL, where bb=sb, but i believe it applies also to normal blind structure.
we are either first to act in 2bb pot or it is checked to us.
