Here's a fun game you can play with betting impetus in your head:

Suppose your raise preflop means you will always bet postflop.

1)What implied odds are you giving the lone coldcaller of your raise to call it?
2)If you are a fan of the HoH2 probe bet vs. continuation bet distinction, how much information are you leaking about your hand in connection with that bet size? (this one has been awesome online lately)

Now, suppose that, on any harmless looking flop, you check no matter what your hand, and your opponent, a LAG who likes to play lots of pots, has the impetus.

1)If you are him, attempt to balance a bet size sufficient to get overcards out of the hand with one that he can still fold when you have aces and checkraise, coupled with the times that you have either of those two and just call.
2)When you give up on #1 being at all profitable in the overall flow of the hand, describe the implied odds of that LAG's PF floater call with J9o.
