Why do we check Axx boards with a strong range? - Page 3 - Poker Theory

One more thing. If the population or player folds to c-bets at a greater frequency than what the equilibrium strategy calls for, then c-betting at a greater frequency will maximize ev. So, c-bet away... Just know when doing so you open yourself up to being exploited. Ya know, obviously if someone folds all the time you bet...

I study equilibrium strategies so I know when someone deviates from them. I would not use an equilibrium strategy unless that was the optimal choice.

Given that I pretty much only play poker at friendly $20 home games and $1/2 at a casino maybe once a year, is it still a big leak to cbet AT3r heads up nearly 100% against loose/passive opponents who aren't gonna be floating or bluff raising? They fold if they don't hit anything and if they do pair up they're going to the river. So I often get 2/3 streets of value with my good hands and only lose my flop bet when I'm bluffing and they also happen to hit.

Tougher opponents aren't so exploitable, because they will be tighter pre-flop and won't fold so often post-flop, because they have stronger ranges. You can't just use tightness/aggression to beat players with solid ranges; you need to be more balanced, deceptive and tricky/trappy.
