Also its tough to take a similar line OOP, eg when we resteal and hit top pair.

So boards with a couple of middle/low cards are good to float/bluff raise? The wetter or dryer the flop the better? Why isnt a 22-TT range fine? We can just raise when we miss sometimes. Not saying my range is that tight tho:P

The bold is the point. The only difference in value between checking the flop and betting the flop is that checking gets value from the times Villain either bluffs or thinks we are bluffing on a later street because we took a passive action here. The end result is that checking has a higher value overall than betting.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
