This is a general question, and I was just wondering if this line is often/ or ever correct. I never did this until recently, and I was wondering if this is a decent line to take in the right spots.
Basically its just when you have a mid PP, and are raised PF by somebody on your left, 3-4 players to the flop... then if the flop comes fairly unthreatening, like Q high or J high with no flush draws I bet into him. I'm trying to take adantage of the fact that most players (3/6 and 5/10 at least) will play their overcards fairly predictibaly if they're tight, and at least somewhat aggressive... so anyways, in a spot like this is it right to try a bet/call on flop when the PFRer raises. then if you get heads up on the turn, and no A or K hits, bet/fold.
It just seems to me that people will take the free card to often on the turn when they have overs, and its rare that somebody would raise you with just overs on the turn, esp when you show strenght by betting into them after they had raised on the flop.
I know this is dependent on the assumption that the PFR will raise a flop bet with his unimproved overcards, but it seems like they will at least a good % of the time.
