I'm not necessarily looking for the Nuts on the flop.... But 2-pair, trips or a draw to a straight or flush will usually mean (flush being the exception) that the flop probably did not improve the "strong" pre-flop bettors much, if at all.

Yes... the turn or river can bring the royalty, but could just as easily bring more rags... and the strong pre-flop hands typically feel a need to keep pushing their bets, right into me.

It just seems that occasionally going "against the grain" has paid dividends for me on those hands, and possibly establishing a "looser" table-reputation (if anyone is watching, which is unlikely in my nickel-dime games).

I am not trying to argue the merits. I am more interested whether the concept is accepted or has been rejected by the experts. I appreciate your insights.
