Do I get called by worse hands? No.
Do I get better hands to fold? No.
So many times I find myself in a situation where betting accomplishes neither of these things. In many of these situations I think I have the best hand and if I check I allow villain(s) to realize equity and draw out on me or just bet and take it away (either as a float or a probe). If I bet I can get called by worse sometimes but my hand is so weak and I have few enough improvement cards that I have to check most turns and allow everything to get there. I can't bet many turns because so many hands picked up equity/hit second pair that most hands which call the flop aren't folding now.
What do I do?
