Re: How do you play the flop and turn against a good opponent?

I think this is a good tricky line against an aggressive player. You're weak lead on the flop totally tricked me as I decided you had to have a weak draw and made a C/R whereas I could have easily folded to a pot-sized bet.

i think this is such an underused play - it has the advantage over pot bets of appearing like a weak bet, plus if you make this 2/3 pot bet when you miss you take down just as may pots as a PSB, but save that extra 1/3 when you get called/reraised

The reason it doesn't work is that so many players play overly passive. The number of players who will check without the intent to check/raise and then check/raise because they sense weakness is less than 10%. Most players only like raising when they have sets or huge draws and the rest of the time will just passively call along until they make a big hand.
