Johnny is only person in the thread with good postflop strategy.
Rest seem to be standard 3bet. Cbet always regardless of board.
Simply suggesting there are other chioces. Including checking some flops both in position and OOP.
You have given zero evidence why checking flop is bad.
We betting all our air here too? Or is our 3bet range strickly 10+ and AK?
I'm pretty sure my postflop strategy is identical to Johnny here so I'm not sure what distinction you're drawing between us.
Checking flop is bad because the less value bets you have, the less bluffs you can have! Like, do I have to take this back to why aggressive poker is, generally, fundamentally better than passive poker?
I don't get it, this is the conversation we're having right now:
mikko: Boy I sure love threebetting, only problem is sometimes I'm cbetting too much and overbluffing and opponents call me down with any pair.
ChrisV: I love threebetting and being aggressive too, hey if our cbetting range is getting a bit weak why don't we put more value in it?
mikko: Not so fast, why don't we run our value through super sick trap check lines instead?
Like WHAT???? This is how poker works, if you feel like your cbet range is not value-heavy enough, you put more value in it. So that's my answer to why checking flop is bad. I'm still waiting for an answer for why checking flop is good. Like, there was this:

This is very closed minded.
Upside is huge. Mon day I stacked J10 suited on similar board where he flopped only backdoor straight draw and turned him dead.
Your claim here is that LLSNL meta is such that if you threebet pre vs 5 players, flop Q33 and check behind HU, you look super weak and V will start hammering out bluffs at you. I can't disprove this, given it's a claim about meta, but you are definitely the only person ITT who thinks this is true.
