I really don't like this call, unless you've seen him making huge bets with nothing and small suck bets with big hands.

totally disagree. few players know enough about poker/big bet poker to bet out their monsters on safe flops.

I have been trying to get my head around this for the past two weeks and I am finding it extremely difficult. I realised I was not getting anough value out of my good hands. Not sure if it is beacause at NL25 there are more players willing to draw or just be plain donkish on what appear to be safe flops but there have been a couple of times I have been bent over without lube when trying to bet out. IT certainly dents the confidence.
