Re: continuation bets
I think too many players are aware of weak continuation bets. Like if I raise with AK from the button and the BB calls... flop is J 7 2, he leads with a half pot bet, I'm likely to 3 bet him and represent a big pair. If he really hit TP, usually he'll bet more than just half the pot to protect his vulnerable hand, and if he just bets half the pot he's basically asking me "do you have aces?".
It seems to me that small to mid size continuation bets are usually useless anymore unless it is to purposely look weak. Too many players have read Harrington's books. 3/4 pot on the flop or raising the turn are much more effective imo.
