DON'T BET FOR INFORMATION.

Make your open preflop smaller. I prefer 70 - 80 as standard at this level. I like the flop check. I would just fold the turn a lot. And if I called the turn bet - it would be because I'm willing to call for my stack on most rivers.

checking the flop gets us a street closer to showdown with a hand in which we have exactly that goal in mind. we can take no heat on the flop and we can induce bluffs from weaker hands, as well as go for value when the situation warrants on the turn and/or river. if you bet the flop you NEVER are going to bet the turn anyways, and if he bets youre probably going to fold, so what information did you yield from this? you never get 3 streets of value here, so the only information i gather is that youre spewing money.
