if you want to give your hand away you're on your own here

6x BB preflop raise is standard for me with any PP and any mid SC's. In no way does it give my hand away.

I just don't see what checking the flop accomplishes here. We likely have the best hand, were betting here for value. Plenty of worse hands will call. This isn't a WA/WB situation.

Lol how can any hand be slightly ahead here or slightly behind. Either we are drawing to 2 outs or they are drawing to two outs/runner runner.

Ummm, where did I say this was a slightly ahead or slightly behind hand?! I merely said it isn't a WA/WB situation because IMO it isn't. My understanding is that term is usually used to describe hands like AK on an AJ7r board. Where you want to control the size of the pot because you have a marginal made hand (one pair). But I suppose Technically you could put 80% of the hands you play in the WA/WB category. If you just want to nut peddle.

I think it's hard to get worse hands to call if we fire another barrel. I usually c/c this. Usually c/f river, but if Villian frequently bets the river when checked to, you have to sometimes call.
