I mix it up based on table image, how the table is playing, etc. I have two examples from today where I may have wished I played counter-play, although I'm sure the results would have been the same anyway. In one I flopped the low set with a pocket pair against the other player's 2 pair. I bet massively on every street including the river where the board paired (giving us both the FH, but him the better one). That was $150 net loss. And then later I flopped the nut flush and pushed the same to where the other player was AI for about $130 before the river - which turned his set into a FH. Overall, even with those hands I made more than I lost. I can't think, though, of a situation where I can regret these 2 hands. I think counter-play might have reduced my losses by a bit, but it's hard to tell. How can you fold a FH and a nut flush?
Anyway, I'm glad to see others trying it. One of the reasons for the post is to get more input on the theory, get results from other players at other sites/limits, etc. It's a theory in development and all input - good and bad - is welcomed. And actual play results and impressions are priceless. The beginners forum may not be the best place for it, because it is advanced play. But I think it gives beginners a good look at where they can take their game, Plus teach that there's more than one way to scale a fish!
