Ghaz,

with regard to the weak lead oop i think this is a great play to use against an agressive opponent and FAR superior than checking to induce a bluff from an aggro opponent. sometimes when i am oop against an aggro opponent and i have been betting the whole way and i feel like he is on a draw....i check. then i puke b/c i keep telling my self i should have be weak into the pot. the weak bet still gives our aggro villain a chanve to bluff at the pot, plus if he improved to some sort of weak hand. e.g. Kxx flop two tone and say he is calling with A10s and rivers a ten, checking to induce a bluff here is horrible, and i am pissed when i do it, if i bet weak he can still bluff with a missed draw but he can also look me up with some weak hand he "accidentally" made along the way. not to mention some of the time my read is off or it is a stubborn QQ JJ, who then sends me an x-mas card for giving him a cheaper showdown.

Define "weak bet".

You bring up a good point, but I am talking about making a bet that isn't even worth the money if called, only if bluff-raised. But maybe that answers the question. H

ow much you'd make betting 1/5 3 times, versus 3/5 every time. Maybe the 3/5 would be called often enough to make it profitable.

But I've been VERY aware of my WAWB situations lately, and there is no reason to make a standard bet in that situation because it is only called/raised when you're behind.

I'm not looking for a solution for what to do on every river situation, just the ones where you have a good read on your opponent and "know" that he has nothing.
