Betting out at the flop, calling a raise, then check/raising all-in on the turn is quite possibly my favorite line with a big hand against an overly agressive player such as yourself.
Why do you say I am overly aggressive? Because I don’t like playing passively? When I Decide to enter a pot I do every thing I can to win that pot. If I flop nothing, I throw the hand away. But If I flop say a flush draw with a gut shot st8 draw you better believe I am going to play it real aggressive. And you wont have to put me all in I will put you all in first. Now If I pick up just a gut shot st8 draw I wont even waist my time looking for a free card. The first 2 years I played NL I averaged 2 BB per 100 hands. I was not happy with my game and made some changes. I have averaged over 8bb per 100 hands at the NL tables since than, going on 3 years. The major changes in my game have been hand selection, more suited connectors ect…
And much more aggression after the flop. It works for me, my game is very similar to the one Doyle lays out in Super System1.
