Even post-flop you bet based on the blinds? I thought post-flop betting was usually determined by the pot or the size of the stacks you're up against (especially tourney play.)

Sorry, Trons. . I'm not picking on you, I appreciate your responses, but if you check the blank after betting out the flop, then that would look weak and induce a bet that I don't think you could justify calling.

I guess that's really the meat of my question. After making a stab on the flop, when someone just calls, now what? A check on the turn looks weak and begs to be bet into, a bet might be throwing money away if the player actually has a hand. I'm just saying the flat call on the flop doesn't provide any information at all, and may complicate the hand (a weakness in Phil's approach?)


Thanks for responses, all. I'm a newbie and just really trying to work out some of these 'iffy' situations i get myself into.
