Default Re: moving up

Not at all. I see people getting tricky on the flop and waititng til the turn to start betting and they miss out on heaps of value.
Lets put it this way, if you bet (or raise) on the flop, average players will call you with any pair (5 outs at best) 2 overcards (6 at best) some kind of werd straight or flush backdoor draw (1.5 outs). Bad players seem to call with anything at all. However even the worst, most attrocious players know to fold the turn, unless they have something that has a chance of winning. Therefore by not betting the flop you are usually leaving a lot of money on the table.

Perhaps you should start betting for value a little more in the 4-8 donkfests.
