[J.A.Sucker]

When playing against top players, there's generally a few rules that you should apply:

1. Don't give excessive action, because usually if the money is going in, it's not good for you.

2. You won't get excessive action, because they know the same.

3. Keep pots small, especially when out of position.

4. Do a few things to mix it up. That's why I like your line a lot (though check/calling the river is better). You sometimes just check/call all the way (unless you improve), sometimes, you might jam the flop, and sometimes you just hit them on the turn. I would tend to not jam the flop, since that's "so obviously a draw" but it is important to do this because you can get big action later, of course. There's a lot of guys online who are giving way too much action; they play better than me, but I still win a lot. Think about how much money they'd make if they stopped going crazy when they shouldn't. I know this is what Zee is talking about here and he's right. It's amazing, really how good the games are, even though they shouldn't be.
