I'm more concerned about the nit trap for OP than this TBH.
Like you see tons of live players do this. They raise preflop. Someone calls. The flop is KQ4 w/ two hears. They bet 1/2 pot and get called. Turn 6. They bet 1/2 pot and get called. River 2. They bet 1/2 pot one more time. Other player shows them KJ and folds. So they go "Wow he folded the next pip worse." So rather than by adjusting by adding more 3 barrels to their range, they just check the river more. Suddenly you're just playing like everyone else, not value betting enough, generally playing too passively, because rather than attempting to exploit our opponent's folding mistakes, we just opt to show down and let the best hand win. And since w/ rake, the average player loses, then we lose if we're the average player.
