As soon as I typed that, I knew I was saying that wrong. Let's try it again. I'm experimenting with c-betting some questionable spots to see if betting beats check/folding. Weird c-betting spots, like when I flop air OOP against multiple villians. It takes a long time to get any real data on that though. Even with 5k hands, the sample size on most of those spots is 3 hands or less. As a whole though, it seriously ramps up flop AF.

I think this is primarily do to hand reading and my pre-flop/flop aggression. By the turn, I'm usually pretty sure where I'm at in the hand. On the river, it clears up even further. Most of the time I'm either a) behind, or b) holding a marginal hand in a bloated pot. When I'm behind, I try to resist betting my opponents hand for them. When I've got a marginal hand, I'm usually trying to control the pot size and / or induce a river bluff. Finally, when I'm ready to go with my hand, I'm working hard to get the money in early. That usually means that if I make it to the river, it's probably not with the upper part of my range. I've pushed hard enough early in the hand that I'm really not looking to push my opponents off a hand by the river. In other words, it doesn't bother me to check and lose if I don't think betting will win.
Hopefully that all makes sense. I'm not sure if my playing style fits the stats in a way you'd expect though. I certainly welcome suggestions.
I've gone ahead and included my numbers since I made these adjustments. Mostly just for reference.
Thanks for your continued opinions.
