Re: Advanced Low Limit Tactic
I am quite certain that Dave was not talking about checking the turn here, which is obviously terrible as you've given your opponent free reign to take the pot away if you miss on the river.
What he means is making smaller bets along the way when your opponent is shortstacked in order to control the pot better. I'd much rather have my opponent have a 1/2 pot size bet or more remaining so he will fold.
While, yes, occasionally opponents do fold to very small bets with bottom pair on the end, you'll find another group of people who will throw their giveup chips in because they're just gonna reload anyway.
Pot control is key.
