I fairly often get called and these opps are often making a big mistake by doing so not geting nearly the right odds.
2. Bluffing is more effective, and more costly when it fails, than in limit. The continuation bet is FAR more effective in NL than L.
3. Fast and slow draws. In no limit poker "fast" draws like small pairs that can flop hit a set often have strong value while in limit poker slow draws like straights and especially flushes have strong potential. The strength of suitedness is stronger in limit than no limit. This point is connected to point #1.

1.. true, but slamming a pot like that will never get you past the lowest stakes. however, it is EXTREMELY effective at microstakes.....and home games. but, the higher you travel in stakes, the closer you need to come to tempting them and riding the implied odds train to value town.
2.. i see what you are saying, but i believe this is false. its about odds. both the odds you offer to draw out, AND the odds your teeny weeny bluff will succeed. in LHE, your bluffs dont need to succeed that often to be profitable. it often takes two barrels, but when you connect on the turn, you switch to value town and your opponent has to decide if you are cbetting the turn or if that card actually helped. when the flop is about 8sb in size, you only need your bluff to succeed 1 in 8....or 13+% of the time to profit. therefore, you should cbet/valuebet every flop you were the aggressor before with one or two opponents w/ very little exception. to me, this "given scenario" just adds depth to the game, and those that constantly make the wrong play consistently line my pockets.....and it takes them FOREVER to find out why.
3.. so, all you do is make that adjustment. game over.
