SSNL Theory Question: Controlling pot size?

And what would you do if you were OOP since a check will tend to induce a bet (and often a large bet) behind which may or may not be a bluff?

Controlling pot size OOP in NL is difficult at best, and sometimes nearly impossible against tough opposition. Against weaker, straight forward opponents, you can sometimes make small (1/4 - 1/3 pot) leads OOP with weaker made hands and draws. They'll often freeze up and either just call or min-raise and give you good odds while keeping the pot size down. Against tougher opponents it's a lot trickier and your best bet is to avoid big confrontations OOP as much as you can. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
