Say I have kj off suit on the button in a 1/3 nl game I get 3 limpers for 3 and I raise it to say 12 everyone calls. Flop goes a-9-6 everyone checks to me pot is about 60 bucks so I bet our strong say 45 and try to take it down right there and what is the risk of some guy with j-9 calling me with middle pair,checking the turn of A and I bet strong call,call etc.. He wins with a 9!! Im representing trip aces and he still calls with middle pair what's a better play on a passive table from position holding marginal hands on whiffed boards when everyone checks? Button range k-10 suited -55-a-j 56 suited weak aces etc..

I think big draws (15 or more outs) count here. Not exactly a 'made' hand, but probability wise, a winning hand.

Sometimes it is better to fold or check, depends on what your opponents will do. I have sometimes the problem, that I have a strong hand (K-J or higher, but not a pair) and that I will keep C-betting. But after all it wasn't worth it because someone made a pair on draw and I lose with my "strong" hand.

Consider playing in an exploitable stype that the fishow may not pick up on. Like bet 2/3pot when you are c betting for value--do this 75% of the time and then bet 1/2 pot when you are bluffing, do this 75%. The other 25 percent of the time try mixing it up randomly.
