Re: 15/30 Aces spot.

Ok fair enough. But on like a TT4 board, what info do you need? You're either way ahead or way behind. Betting the flop will get raised or called by a better hand while checking induces bluffing and gains information via delayed cont bet method.

Betting disallows the free card, which I find to be very important, as well as putting in bets when ahead very often. It also gains you some info, though that is not why I'd bet. If you bet and get called or raised, its time to play poker. If you check, you have no clue where you stand on the turn regardless of the action that takes place. Giving a 2-6 outer a free card = teh suck. I really haven't heard any valid arguement for not betting the flop. If you are doing it to mix up your game, realize that is totally pointless, since your opening standards here are very wide, and you will bet just about any flop, with monsters, and with nothing. Also, don't play against a player that can exploit you here (basically a much better player).
