Re: Correct flop aggression? (short)
[ QUOTE ]
if you increase your chances by 5% your equity is 3.85 bb, an increase of more than triple the cost of playing the hand more aggressively.

isn't the increase .35Bbs, which is less than the .5 BBs you put in if you 3-bet the flop.

you can stop yourself from being bluffed out. what % of the time will your opponent have a flush draw, straight draw, or stone bluff here? etc.

calling down does this but also encourages him to continue his bluff. most worse hands that semi-bluff this flop aren't drawing that live against you anyway and will bet the turn.
IMO the biggest drawbacks to calling down are you miss value when he checks behind on the turn and you may let him win the pot with a worse hand that might fold to a flop 3-bet and turn lead, although I'm struggkling to come up with an example of such a hand right now.
