Stopping to think about what their calling range is before value betting OTR. So often do I just have a standard hand strength for value betting and fire away, not considering the types of hands I'm getting value from and the better hands that take their line.
Yeah I have a similar problem in some situations trying to bet out when checked too (non nut hands) and picking spots where he could be checking with the intentions of calling a river bet/pot control.
To try move people of AK on A hi boards never really works out that well
