I've been trying this tactic more - I forgot where I read it - I think on the site of a guy trying to sell lessons, but it does work well, esp. if you are in Early Position.
Step 1. - flop a monster - the flush or a set.
Step 2. - make a SMALL bet on the flop - 3/4th the size of the pot - enough to make it wrong for draws to call heads up, but not enough to really feel like you're trying to get them out.
Step 3 - Check the turn
Step 4. - Check the river - I'm guessing 75% of the time I get a bluff out of the opposition - I then do the min. raise and almost always get a call.
Anyone else like doing this? - Seems like an easier way to get chips then actually just bluffing myself. But it does require some check/calling - which of course, is tantamount to saying you don't want to win at poker in some people's eyes.
