I am starting to feel that I am not getting enough out of my play. I play about 25% of my hands which I am happy with. When I get cards, I raise roughly 4-5xBB and follow that up with a continuation bet after the flop. I pick up my share of pots but nothing big. I often feel my betting is scaring opponents away..........I realize that I am predictable, but I am raising (but not reraising) with a lot of hands and am not a rock. I do raise post flop out of position, and that may imply power and cause a fold instead of a call. Perhaps a check raise would work but I kind of quit that play when I left limit. All I would gain is 2 more BB and might get royally hammered when I walk into trips....

When I flop trips, I am paranoid about straights and flushes, so I bet them. Same deal, I bet 60% to 80% of the pot and everyone folds to me. I have bad memories of slow playing hands but really don't think I am getting paid off enough for my good ones. Is my continuation bet too high??

I would be interested in hearing some alternate ideas for play on the flop when you have good cards against passive players.
