Re: NL50 - Flush on paired board
[ QUOTE ]
Mixing it up is a healthy practice. It wasn't just about the unknown villain, there were also the other players around the table watching the hand go down and if they're even slightly paying attention they noticed my check when I hit the flush which will therefore confuse them next time, as I bet my made flush on the turn 90% of the time.
I refuse to play a certain way 100% of the time. It would make my play predictable and also poker would be very boring to me.

OP, I'm not going to flat out disagree with you on this concept (except the boredom part, lol), but you might have some leaks in your game if you are consistently using uNL meta-game deception to justify plays that lose a LOT of immediate value.
Like checking this turn for example...in a bubble, it's a big losing play for reasons you appear to understand. Making up that value in pure meta-game deception is more difficult than you realize.
I would bet this turn 100% of the time and save my meta-game trickery for super-rare occasions against regulars who have lots of history with me.
