What about continuation bets? Do you feel they're profitable at these levels, or are they just trouble?
You want them to stay in and try to suck out on you if they are behind and there are virtually no hands that a 2/3 pot bet gives good odds to stay in with you if you are ahead. There are 2 exceptions

1) The pot is already big enough for you to push and take it so you bet big and they call/fold. This is dropping the hammer.

2) You are going to call an allin if they suck out on you. This is dumb and you need to slap yourself in the face HARD everytime you call an allin against someone other than a habitual bluffer with deep stacks and only TPTK.

Other than that you can go ahead and be happy every time they call and suck out on you and you fold (or call a small bet) because you know that most of the time they wont get that miracle card and you will make profit from that call.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
