I do need to narrow these hands right out of my play though and yes we did talk about this already and I have a hard time respecting players at this level and breaking my habits.
If c/c is a big problem in your game, then just bet in these spots where you raise EP/MP. I think too many ppl look at their hand like AT on QTx board and feel like they need to c/c instead of betting since "no worse hands will call" type spots. Which just isn't true the majority of the time. Or maybe a better example is people c/c 99 on like a K25 board. Betting gives you initiative, lets you multi-street bluff if you want and lets you hit deceptive two pairs/trips/sets.
