I probably shouldn't share this, but what the heck.....

I put in appx 40-50 hours late this year in the Wynn and Bellagio 15-30. In the tables where the situation you describe occurs, I basically led out the flop every single time....even with one over. I held nothing most of the time and both players folded almost every time. The way you are playing it isn't necessary.

However, if you do cr the flop, I agree with all the other posters that you absolutely must lead the turn. Finally, when a safe card falls on the river, opponent dependant, I often check to induce a bluff. Some of these guys cannot resist taking a stab at a pot.

BTW, I don't think any of these plays would work well in Los Angeles $15-30 games, but you rarely get into that situation anyway(only 1 limper).
