Re: An annoying STT tactic

I overcame a lot of the problems with the above situation once I learned to stop betting ace high all the time.

I don't always make contiuation bets when I miss (or hit for that matter). I don't know my exact ratio but 50-50, 60-40 when I miss and 80-20, 90-10 when I hit sounds close. If you are not making continuation bets relatively often, though, I think you are leaving a lot of money on the table. The fact of the matter is most flops miss people and if your opponent is facing a bet on the flop from someone who raised pre flop when he has missed his hand, or is looking at 2-3 overs to his pocket pair, calling is not easy.
Even if you are continuing 50% with misses (which I think is pretty low) and 90% with hits, I'd have to crunch the numbers but I think you are still going to be leading with less than top pair most of the time.
