    Default TT - Post Flop Too Aggressive?

    Spong and Jsvilla are pretty loose with their range of cards and preflop. JSvilla had just lost a big pot too.

    I've thought about this very situation ... is going all in a 'tactic'? Raising $300 would have put remaining players all in, correct? So is going all in sort of a scare tactic?

    Just curious, but is the "you're toast" comment meant to entice the rest to call?

    Pushing is good, since it looks like a bluff, or overs that don't want action. But why the hell are you typing that in the chat?

    Going all in is very much a tactic at the lowest levels but surely, it can't be here. Can it?

    Eh. One other guy is AI for another 80, the other for 300. The guy behind is basicly AI if he calls the 150...

    I don't think you can really play this wrongly.

    I'd make it 500 though. AI looks ugly!

    Oh yes, as for my chat, I typed that because beforehand I had made a similar comment like "I cant lose this hand!" and that was when I was bluffing, and JSvilla called it. It wasnt a huge bluff but he won the hand after I said that in chat.
