I guess it keeps you out of trouble, but it seems to be giving up too easily for 1 bet when you already called 2 cold in a heads up pot with a marginal hand. My game is a lot higher variance, but I never fold a pair on the flop heads up, I let my opponent give me a chance to win the pot, not fold in a spot my opponent will bet close to 100% of the time.

So if somehow you found yourself cold calling OTB with 55 after a TAG raised UTG+1, you'd continue on a AKx flop? Really????? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
It doesn't matter if he bets 100% of the time cuz his range is so far ahead of yours at this point.

I wouldn't get in that spot preflop...but if you are, why not give yourself a chance to outplay his QQ or JJ when he checks the turn...
[/ QUOTE ]Because it's really costly and won't work nearly often enough to be profitable. If you called with 55 hoping to catch a good flop, you didn't. You caught just about the worst flop you could imagine. Let it go.
I tend toward a more high-variance game as well (showdown monkey), but when a TAG cbets with AKx on board, you don't have to try to win every pot. If you fold and he shows a bluff, smile and tap the table.
