Re: Ring game/Weaker players
I'm just reading throught the article. In the 5th paragraph hero only calls a raise with TPTK on a draw-heavy board. This is really bad. Hero likely has the best hand on this flop, he is likely the favorite for the hand and he definitely has a nice equity edge. Giving a cheap card to flush draws and OESD's (let alone gutshots and weaker pairs) is a mistake.
He might just call in order to c/r the turn. But he can't be sure CO will bet. CO might take a free card. So 3-bet flop.
Edit: In the final paragraph the author states that only limping big hands preflop is another weapon against weak players. WTF. Limping big hands preflop is a tricky, deceptive tactic working best/only against good, thinking players.
The best weapon against weak players that play too many hands and go too far with weak draws simply is value betting whenever you have an equity edge.
