Default The best advice you\'ve ever learned on 2+2

Despite my reg date, I've been around awhile, off and on. I wanted to start a thread where everyone could share what it is they've learned in their time here.
I have a few choice nuggets, including the mathematical probabilities of going all in as SB vs the BB when you both have less than 10 BB.

But the absolute best advice I have ever learned on 2+2 is this:

You're in the blind. SB works best but BB is fine as well. A few limpers come in and you check it to the flop.
Flop comes
X-Y-Z rainbow and you check. You have absolutely no piece of this. It gets checked through.

Turn pairs the board. Top pair is best though any pair tends to work.

You throw out bet. It gets folded around and you take the pot.
See, anyone in early position has to worry about a raise from late position. Anyone from late position, if they had any piece of the flop, would have bet it. No one has anything and, even if they think there's a chance you're stealing, they can't do much about it at all. Pot is yours.
I thought this was great advice when I first heard it and I've had the opportunity to try it a few times in the casinos.
It simply stuns me how often I can get 3, 4 even 5 guys to all fall like dominos and take that small pot on an absolute bluff. It's such a killer move and the most +ev tip I can think of.

So share yours.
