Default Ideal flops to bluff OTB w/ 1 or 2 callers

Morning,

I re-read Brunson's treatment of grabbing unraised pots OTB when there are only a couple of callers and he cites K62 rainbow as a perfect example, which assumes, of course that the players are good enough to raise their Big Kings and fold their small ones pre-flop, and there clearly aren't any draws out there. Any other particular flops that you guys like to make this move with? AA6, perhaps?

Big-rag-rag rainbow is probably the best stealing flop no matter what. Of course it helps if your opponents act more predictably with big cards, but the fact is, if no one has the big card you have a good chance of taking down the pot (in a game where your opponents aren't likely to call with middle or bottom pair in an unraised pot).

Another good stealing flop is when the board pairs low... J33 for instance. This is especially good for stealing out of the blind, as people will be concerned that you have a 3(especially if you will bet a 3 here if you get one). Three rags is an ok flop, but many people will tend to call with overcards here, so it's not as good as when there is one big card on the board.

Any flop with an A in it doesn't qualify as a good stealing flop, IMO. People just play Aces way too often.
