Wowww... This thread proves to me exactly what I keep having to remind myself, playing honest poker at the lower stakes will get you a lot farther than dishonest poker will. The guys at the 10NL tables will nearly 100% of the time call you down, unless facing a completely undesireable board.
I'm beginning to wonder about the c-bet at these levels too. A lot of the time the c-bet gets the job done, but often enough it get's picked off by a re-raise, or a flat call. The flat call is the worst, because it often suggests to me the guy's on a draw, and I'll fire another (larger) bullet, only to be hit with a re-raise. This is where I seem to lose the majority of my money, on c-bets, and simply not beleiving my opponents bets and raises when I have a fairly strong hand.
IMO at the low stakes tables, honest play will generate long term gains.
