Jason Pohl advocates in the end that a simple fold on the flop is usually better than calling or raising.

I think it's close, but I don't want the rest of the table see me fold for one bet on the flop heads-up after raising. For that reason, I usually peel. Sometimes I'll raise. When I've got AA or KK, I often flat call the donk bet on the flop, then pop them on the turn. This seems to be an effective balancing strategy.

This come in more at higher stakes as jason pohl says and im sure many of us are aware... The lower stakes players(some 3/6 5/10 players here to and higher up) are surfing web/chatting on aim and unless involved the hand miss these things.

If you peel "because you want a strong image" as such, it's not worth the SB it costs you, you're probably better off finding the fold button rather than making a -EV decision for "table image" reasons. Just be aware of some players taking more shots at you.

i think you'll have OC's way more often that AA/KK so this "balancing" is infact a pleasent thought but not a reality.

This is ofcourse assuming that 1 in 20 guys actually notes it down or remembers it... and that the guy actually uses the information.
