2 good points. However, here is a more explicitive example of what I'm asking:

You: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Opponent: you put him on A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Yor opponent limps from middle-late position. You raise 3x on the button. Folds around to your opponent. Heads up...

POT=$1(SB)+$2(BB)+$2(limp)+$6(raise)+$4(call)=$15

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Since you rasied preflop AND have middle pair and the nut flush draw you make a continuation bet of $15 (your rightfully put your opponent on a weak A). Your opponent will only be getting 2to1 on his money.

Any [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], any K, any Q gives you the win which gives you 15 outs. He can only improve his hand with 2 of the As and 2 of the 4s. PLUS, he has to take into account you may have a bigger A.

BUT...in a 1/2 NL game how many opponents actually use this thought process? Would the majority of players in a 1/2 NL game think 'I have an ACE and its only $15...this is NO LIMIT POKER...like on TV...I call'?

If you hit your hand GREAT! If not you KNOW you were betting correctly for your opponent to fold. WILL HE???
