[Paul 'actionjack' Jackson's Strategy Blog] I decided that he probably had his usual ace rubbish as his continuation bet was the usual lower one that he did when he ended up actually having a hand, so I decided to call his flop bet and then bet out on the turn (providing the turn was not a ten). The turn was a nice ace which I thought he probably had but I figured he could not call without a ten and if he did I would fire a much bigger river bet to make him fold.

[Niche Poker] No Limit Holdem Cash Games Intermediate Strategy: If neither player was improved by the flop either, they will probably quietly fold here and you will gather in a small pot. If not, you have risked very little and can get out of the way if you don’t improve further (or if someone raises you).
[pokerlistings.com - Blog] Strategy Snapshot: Baron Takes a Whiff: Because he called the turn, he surely has to call the river, as the pot is too big to fold and his hand is too strong versus raptor's range. He was incredibly lucky to catch a three-outer on the turn and then luckier still to dodge raptor's 12 remaining outs on the river.
[Lucky Dog Poker] LuckyDog battles for WSOP “final table”: Another winner came my way when I called a raiser pre-flop with my pocket 7’s. A flop of 5-4-2 prompted me to push all-in against a lone opponent, who called with 3-3.
[Paul 'actionjack' Jackson's Strategy Blog] WSOP 2008 (Part11): He was now down to about 3000 (having won pots early on with excessive flair to enable him to survive his creative Q6 all-in move) and after two limpers for 50 decided an all-in bet of 3000 was justified in order to pick up the extra 175 chips already in the pot. The next player called and the player after moved all-in for 10000 “historically” called (this is my personally developed next term following “instant call”, then the time shortened “insta call” and the now popular and presumably shorter time to call “snap call”- you cant get a quicker call than “historically” calling before your opponent has made the bet you are calling so I believe that means I am cool though it is a bit of a mouthful so maybe

[T6poker Blog] T6Rolf in Vegas (23): I was very unlucky when in a perfect situation (open limper in the cutoff, me the preflop raiser with a solid AsJc, my opponent being unable to release his possibly dominated QT) and an also very good flop (KQ2 with two spades), my opponent decided to commit fully with his second pair / marginal kicker. Having 14 outs twice I was a mathematical favorite with two cards to come, but I could not improve.
[Chuck's Poker Blog] A “sophisticated” play works in a limit game: I’d made a couple of good reads already that night, including throwing away aces with a good kicker in early position (and A-10o hand) after I’d planned to check-raise, but before it got back to me the ace-rag-rag flop had gotten bet, raised, and re-raised (and I was right; the re-raiser had a weak ace but had flopped aces up), but in my mind, this was the best read of the night.
[Devin Armstrong] "Welcome to hell, sir.": Fair enough, but if the hand had played out like it should have, he would have bet 3K on the flop, and I would have called and hit my flush on the turn. Now, there's no guarantee that I would have won at that point as he could have made me very uncomfortable with just the jack-high flush, but the more likely scenario is that he would have to slow way down with his red kings on a 4-spade board, giving me the pot.
