Its very marginal, ive pushed garbage into the nutz plenty of times but also had garbage pushed into me.
of course i compliment this by making trap plays. Often i call see raises with big pairs (especially KK/AA) and pump out big reraises on the flop. Because the know i bet with nothing i often get AQ to commit a stack on a queen high flop basically with 2 outs. It also means my sets get paid off because the chips get in on the flop. If opp calls i check to them or behind in hope of letting them bet into a pot they think they are winning. Stats show i dont actually lose any value here because i can get my river bets called because any intelligent player thinks its a bluff bcause i checked the turn behind them in many cases. Id only do this though when opp is more than one card behind. Any other times and i may get cracked
Great stuff. You are on to some fundamental concepts of winning maximized NLHE here.
