Default Re: Using Cloutier\'s thinking with AK

I basically agree, but have one added suggestion.

Instead of betting out close to a pot-sized bet, I bet a half pot. I find that I still get those who completely missed the flop to fold. A half bet does not necessarily show weakness, since it could also be a trap. This way, I lose less when I get called and have to fold my hand on the turn.

Caveat, though: You also have to play your strong hands the same way since you don't want to give away a tell by betting weaker hands less than stronger hands.
