how about when we value bet so thin that we dont even know if it's for value or a bluff, if we were to constantly do that (as well as play medium - strong made hands and draws this way) how could villain ever know how to interpret what were doing? i mean .. we wouldnt even know ... so how could he figure it out? how about that approach.

imo this is the best way of doing it and obviously so.

if we're gonna put money in the pot and we're not positive of where we're at, isn't it better the higher up on our range we are so we're more likely to get value? in a roundabout way this ensures that we're getting as thin of value as possible in isolation, and we have the highest equity over all our range. like tripling semi-bluffing on K6723 is always better with 89 than QJ, and valuing/bluffing on KQ8T3 is always better with AQ than 98 because he makes a mistake in calling river with QJ when our range has more AQ type hands than 98 type hands
my post was a bit of a level in the sense that i said it jokingly but that's actually how i play. wufwugy ... smart man.
