What this means is that, provided my non-pair hands have hit, or if I have a pair, and there are 0 — 1 [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#222533]over cards on the flop, I will play extremely quickly, with very large accompanying bets. This accomplishes a few things: First, if a player originally suspected us of bluffing, adopting this strategy almost always reinforces that false impression, and for the first two bets post flop, his/her immediate call answering your erroneously supposed bluff will, to him or her, ostensibly serve them to deter you from further bluff making, while in actuality, you are killing them, quickly, before they have a chance to think. Also, overthinking ourselves in this situation can lead to a place where we were ahead but our opponent catches up - a prime reason for getting stacked.
