[quote="Marshall28" but u accomplish a couple of things by doing this ... a) you put a lot of pressure on him.

i just really dont like the idea of betting the flop in order to fold to a raise, id prefer to check it behind if i wasnt going to go with the hand if raised.

Hand 1: Do you realize that (a) is not, in itself, an accomplishment? B and C are good though. The problem with your line is that vs this player, we get it in often and very bad. We bet the flop rather than check behind because the vast majority of his range is calling or folding, both of which are good results. Now, we call because he might be getting sick of getting run over and our pot equity allows for a profitable float. Vs a terrible straightforward tagg like fagtors this may just be a fold, but generally you will have a decent shot at winning this pot unimproved after opp gives up on a move.

Hand 2: Definitely cbet.
