If you don't bet the flop here you are kinda burning money pre-flop...

Sobrao is pretty good but he never played back at me unless he had the goods, and he was one of my favorite nits to bluff. He might have evolved with the games though, I understand hes been pretty successful.

another question, how much faith do you guys put in your gut feelings, it could be selection bias but it seems the times I don't trust that gut feeling the results are bad

I had a feeling he was going to play back at me

Not often enough it seems. Although, I think they are gonna play back at me everytime I CB.

You showed strength preflop and a cbet will reinforce that strength. You're right, he might play back at you occasionally. But it's +EV to cbet in this situation, especially against a relatively tight player.

go with the feeling, especially if its based on more thna just board texture
