Deanglow, what are your thoughts on a flop raise? I didn't like it either, but I'm finding it hard to articulate why now. Maybe because I think he continues/3-bets with some really strong hands (big pairs, AdKd) that make up a lot of his range anyway, and folds hands that I could probably just bet out on the turn..?

Yeah, I wish I knew. My feeling is that not enough players at 50 NL respect or understand pot control plays - they just see weakness and go into attack mode. Even a lot of somewhat decent TAggs are like that. Going on that possibly-wrong generalization, I made an $18 bet (knowing I was coming close to pot-committing myself), and luckily he folded.
