Ok I can see how semi-bluffing is the way to go in position especially with straight draws which are well hidden. I could see myself losing my stack against someone who played like this.
What if you are out of position and have a draw on the flop? Do you lead or check-raise the flop? Do you keep firing on the turn? I feel like I lose a lot of money by firing away barrel after barrel out of position.
Another question that I have is, are you willing to play for your stack (100x BB) on the flop with a pair+draw (straight or flush), or inside straight draw + flush draw if your opponent pushes in? These hands are 30-50% underdogs vs. AA / 2-pair / set type hands. Obviously it depends on stack sizes, bet sizes etc... but just in general lets say your opponent bets on the flop, you raise, and your oponent pushes in, do you guys regularly play for your stack with these type of holdings?
