The hand converter seems to be down.

WeakTight in this case is known to use a pot-sized continuation bet on any flop after a PFR.

Party $25 PL Texas Hold'em
Seat 5 is the button
Total number of players : 10
Seat 3: Hero ( $26.35 )
Seat 9: WeakTight ( $33.50 )
The small blind [$0.10] and big blind [$0.25] are posted.
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ :Tc: ]
1 fold. WeakTight raises [$0.85]. 3 folds. Hero calls [$0.85]. 4 folds.
** Dealing Flop ** [ :Ac: ]
WeakTight bets [$1.95]. Automatic continuation bet.
Hero calls [$1.95].
** Dealing Turn ** [ ]
WeakTight checks. My call scared him, making him go into check/fold mode. This is a clear signal that he does not have the A.
Hero checks.
** Dealing River ** [ :Td: ]
WeakTight bets [$2]. My check behind makes him think his hand is still good, so he reverts to value betting. Also possible is that he is just trying to steal with KQ or something similar.
Hero raises [$11.70].
WeakTight folds. WeakTight doesn't know what the heck I have, but defaults to folding without at least TP.
Hero does not show cards.
Hero wins $19.20

If I had raised the flop or bet the turn after the check, WeakTight probably would have just folded. With this line, I got him to commit more money and still fold. I admit there is certainly a larger chance that he will call my river bet than a turn bet, though.

This also gave me the most number of cards to outdraw him.

This line is probably a glaringly obvious steal to any good player. But does it have merit against unthinking weak/tighties?
