1. I agree that bluffs tend to work best against medium stacks. I think they work well against short stacks too when we're on the bubble.
2. The c-bet can be more than half the pot at times, depends on the situation.
3. In limit, semi-bluff bets with draws are profitable. In no limit Harrington is right that they are risky because of big check raises.
5. No, I don't check raise often. I usually bet out. There are times when a CR is necessary though, for example if I'm playing against opponents who know my style.
On a side note, here is one of my favorite quotes from part 8:
Quote:

Some authors tell you to be careful when you flop the middle or bottom trips, because you might lose to higher trips. Nonsense. If you get knocked out of the tournament because you lost in a set-over-set confrontation, then it just wasn't your tournament. When your set gets outflopped, you're supposed to lose a lot of money. When I hear someone telling a story about how he shrewdly laid down middle set after some intricate chain of reasoning convinced him he was beaten, my quick (but silent) reaction is "Idiot."
