I do agree with fatguy'06 that at microstakes, many players can have such a broad range of hands that it becomes difficult to know if they're drawing to a flush or a straight, with a low pair or simply slowplaying a TPTK. But sometimes you can pretty figure out with their betting/calling pattern in relation with the flop texture, especially with flush draws. On the other hand, very tight "rock"players will draw only with very strong draws, and in a sense become very predictable. I guess they are easy folds when they hit their draw because they rarely bluff (at microstakes of course). So you can pretty much avoid paying their " optimistic calls". I don't know if you guys agree with that ?

Reading this section, I realized that when the villain is on a draw, I tend to bet to much and I loose a lot of value. I tend to make them fold early and win the pot right there...cause I hate when they hit their draw... The idea of betting for maximum EV even if villain draw correctly on you is very eye opening for me.

But what about if you have TPTK, you are fairly sure that villain is on a draw ? You want to control the pot, but at the same time want to get some value. I know those hands are tricky, but in the context of this section of the book, how does it apply ?
