I think it also helps to maximize ev on your modest hands. A play i make a lot is to raise with QJ from position, flop Q high, bet it, get called and then check behind when checked to on the turn if the board is safe. Then villain almost always bluffs the river if hes aggressive at all, and you win a bigger pot than you normally would've because he'd have folded to a turn bet. And even if he checks to you on the river, you can usually overbet the pot and get called by less than top pair.
You also cut your losses if he flopped a set on you or something silly like that.
What are your thoughts about OOP, when you think you might be best but you don't know? (Besides don't play hands OOP LOL). Part of my struggles come because I don't want to let a draw see a free card. More of my problem stems from not wanting to appear weak and get blown off the pot. How do you balance the two?
play aggressivly or fold
