Default Re: The worst mistakes in NL are made with drawing hands

This is especially necessary if it's a fairly coordinated two-suited board. If I have AsKs and the flop is K T 8 with two hearts, I will usually over-bet the pot to wreck the implied odds and pot odds of people with QJ or two hearts. When people call these kind of bets, they are making a huge mistake.

Yah, that works great when you are ahead, but what if they out flop you. Your system is over simplified. You don't take into account the times where your top pair top kicker is behind... it sure isn't very good over betting the pot when you are in second place. So your system should take into account the abilities and tendancies of your opponent. If they are capable of putting in a lot of money when they are a 2:1 dog, then by all means push hard, but be aware of your opponents who will push back when you're behind. You have to be able to tell which opponents will bluff raise and which opponents raise with a made hand.
