I guess I was asking folks to speculate on what type of read (it's not that uncommon) would suggest this line might work well in cash game spots where no one 3bet pre.
There's another instance where Gabe's principal works in cash: say a Loose Aggressive type with a wide cold call range (maybe 30/10/5) checks the flop to me, and he's so agro in "orphaned pots" that I know he'll bet the turn with almost any two if I check behind. Typically, that guy would also have donked the flop w/ Ax. In the right spots, I've called turn (and sometimes river) bets and picked up tons more value than cbetting would have earned by letting someone bluff (badly).
Like Jyms said, reading this post was a "light bulb" moment for me, and I began to learn not to "take down pots" but instead to win more monies. The applications hit many, many hands in both cash and tourneys, both FR and 6m.
