Excellent post, this is really a great way to earn extra bets at SSNL, a must in a player arsenal...

Nice post.

I used to think that if my AF was less than 2-3 I was doing something wrong. Now I think AF is pretty meh as far as stats go...and easily manipulated too.

Fantastic. Thanks Cappy.

Suppose in your "in position" example, the flop is two-tone instead. Do I bet turn to charge the draw, or check to keep it small and induce on a blank river?

In your "OOP" example, suppose the flop is rainbow. Very broad question, but how do we weight value betting the river versus checking to get a bet out of a worse hand?

This is where reads start coming into play. I usually tend to do this on drier flops. If I have a good read that I think villain is drawing on me, I'm betting again on the turn. If this is the case, I will also value bet on the river...this is because betting the turn/checking behind on the river is no different than checking the turn/calling a bet on the river - at least IMO.

How aggressive is the villain? This is a pretty broad range, but if the flop/turn is such that I don't think villain is drawing, I'm value betting out on the river. For instance, if I have AA UTG and the board is a very dry rainbow board of K95-2-3, I am just firing a value bet on the river as I expect to get called by a worse K, QQ-TT, or even bad 9's as well much of the time. I only make this play OOP if it is a draw heavy board, I have a read that villain is probably drawing, and that obvious draw misses on the river. This is allow hands (that I get no value from if I bet) to bet into me to give me more value.
