Yea, I'm getting the point. Lets play what if though. Say you are in late position and hit tp/tk on the flop. Multiple players check to you, if you bet the flop you will get called by a couple of players who think there hand is good. They will then c/c to the river unimproved so you get 2.5 bb leading out.

If you check the flop and induce a bet from someone out of position who thinks you missed the flop then raise them and they c/c to the river you get 3 bb. Is risking .5 bb to get an extra .5 bb worth it ever?

It strikes me as FPS but it's been something I've been thinking about recently. Probably follows the slow play rules though and in the long run isn't worth it.
