Given that there are additional leaks in calling the turn rather than betting the flop (the 4% chance of a pair hitting trips) this must be a less profitable approach than betting between half and pot-sized on the flop. The additional call of the half pot sized value bet on the river must make it less +EV, particularly as the pot doubled in size on the turn.
 
Scrap any fold equity at all and I can't see how this can be demonstrated otherwise.
 
 
 
So if the pot is $10 on the flop you can either bet $5-10 and take it down if he hasn't got an Ace.
 
If you check the flop he bets anywhere between 5 and 10 if he has an Ace (or even if not) and you call. You also call a half pot bet on the river of up to $10, which he is only likely to make if ahead.
 
On the few occassions he hits trips or some bizarre runner-runner you lose EV as well.
 
I'm sure it's still +EV but I can't see how it is more so than betting the flop.
 
 
Just to add, I'm not knocking the concept here, I think that in the example given it doesn't pan out.
 
As for the other site I just thought it was an unnecessary comment.
