Yeah TP, I have been using that play as of late. I remember when it "came to me" at that moment like you describe. Great peice of advice.
I still haven't heard many opinions on my more important, regular occuring, dilemma.
Today, I raise with AK, get a raggedy flop and bet the flop, only to have the BB call me. He checks the turn, I bet, which I hadn't been doing, he calls.
Now, he checks the flop, and I bet again, with no pair, becaue I will lose if I check it down. He calls.
I'm beaten with K3, the 3 was the low pair on the flop.
I'm starting to feel like the checking it down if my flop bet doesn't take the pot is a better play. Players are 2/4 are going to call you down with low pair and an overcard.
Lost 4 bets and if a King hits, I'm in even more trouble.
I truly have no idea what to do in this situation.
I'm just going to go with feel and vary my play to meet the situation/player/feel of the game, etc.
