Default Re: Experiment with raised pots

-EV should be self explanatory. I think you lose more often than you win. I see very little good coming from checking behind every time you're the preflop aggressor in a HU situation. It completely eliminates the continuation bet, which should usually pick up the pot. When you flop a strong hand on a draw heavy board, it gives your opponent infinite odds. Other than trapping with a solid hand on a rainbow, scattered flop, the only thing I see being slightly positive is when you're against a monster. And then you don't know if they're betting into you because you always check behind or if they indeed have a good hand.

What do you do when they lead? Just cancel the concept and play accordingly?

As for your question, I can't answer that. Also too broad. It weighs heavily on the opponent aswell as the hand itself. An overpair could be a pair of Fours. Lots of it depends on information you aren't offering. Sorry. Let us know how the expirement goes.
