Actually, for me I think this is what I've been doing - stacking off too lightly, thinking that the vill is either bluffing or overplaying a worse hand to my TPTK/2pr/set, when in fact they are just like 2NL and only playing back with nutty hands. Certainly that's been the source of most of my bigger 5NL losses over the last 2 weeks, and most hands I should've backed off/shut down.
But then, how to deal with that feeling that you're being floated when some 40/15 calls 4BB pre and 75% pot on flop to your TPTK/2pair? My problem I think is that I become committed (or feel I am) - by the time you've bet 4BB pre, then another ~5-10BB on the flop, the pot is getting too big for your small hand? But conversely, if I don't take this kind of line I'm pricing in the draws?
Sorry if this is a bit of a thread hijack, but I was coincidentally planning on posting on this very issue later today.
@circusmidget: I might post some PT3 stats later.
