Assume first orbit at the table. How bad is a raise to say $15 here? I figure villain is on a fairly tight range, but I'm trying to get a feel for these types of spots.

id be thinking about how his range reacts to a flop raise and big turn bet when we are considered an unknown.
You can represent a set/fd and still have a money card for a straight.

I'd want a read on his c-bet size. Def. looks like one so, yeah, I might try to pick him off here.

[Renton]

you can but don't make a habit of it.

Yeah, I wanted to say something in another of your threads from today. You seem enamoured with making plays. Are you trying to lagg it up more or are these hands atypical?

[Renton]

i make a fair few plays.

[Warpe]

Me, too, but I'm curious if he's adjusting his style.

[Renton]

lol i just realized you weren't referring to me

[spoonitnow]

In case warpe is referring to me, which I'm not really sure.

Most of the hands I post are atypical for one reason or another. In this hand I just called with SCs in position against a tagg which I do occasionally, but for this flop it brings up a situation that I don't encounter often, so I ask about it.

I'm not really switching up my mode of play so much as just trying to more actively improve myself as a player (read: increase my post count).

you have to do enough in small pots with not a lot at stake just to encourage people to make a few plays/light call downs against you. Then we dont get the problem of people insta-folding every time we raise a flop/turn etc

I dont actually think raising and forcing a fold then showing is too bad here if your opp plays with you a fair bit

[Renton]

the reason i say not to make a habit is because this is a board where we are almost expected to be getting out of line a lot.

True.

I dunno about showing (I never do) but I agree with the rest a lot, Miffed, 'cause I do it quite a bit, esp. in early orbits. Laggy smallball is fun
