Hand 3 I bet simply because so many people peel one on the flop.

This is true and since I have a hard time judging when someone is just peeling one off to follow up by folding to a turn bet I end up betting all these turns. I believe you could, by looking at the board texture and adding a read on the opponent, find some cases where checking is better in these situations.

True. Sometimes I'll look at my poker edge stats and see how often they fold at the flop/turn. If they have a high turn fold, then it's an easy bet. If they see most rivers, it's a check.

I don't really do enough of that though, it's something I think to check after the play [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. HU though I'm just about always betting the turn just because I think I'll steal enough pots that it'll be worthwhile. If there's 4BB in the post, I only need to be successful 20% of the time. And the other 80% of the time I'm still going to win once in a while when I pull my river pair.
