Over-looked this (wall of text for the loss.) Stupid-easy value raise pre-flop. If you raise pre-flop, Tx will often feel pot-struck by the time the post-flop aggression gets to the point where he figures his hand is no good.

Tourney donks stack off with top pair in unraised pots. Most cash players need a pot to fight for before they start doing that.
