too aggressive?

[quack]

In the past I've had a little trouble being aggressive...often betting smaller thn I should or calling instead of raising....take a look below, was this too aggressive w/ 2 suited cards showing on the flop? I am ME in the hand below.

If I knew I would get a caller, id do the same. Its fun making those bastards pay up over and over for those few times they hit their stupid draws. Nice job.

I agree, if you know you'll get a caller then go for it. You want to get as much money in the pot while you still have the best hand.

Haha, EVERYONE called your raise, thats crazy.

Yeah since your up against that many players this could be a good move, you've probably got the best hand and someone probably will call with a king or something.

Sweet. I love those tables. I had one guy at that level yesterday that would go AI or bet high every time he had sutied connectors, even if he had no shot to hit them. He was showing down 45s with 7oAoKo on the board. I (and everyone else) made $$ off him routinely. He dropped over $100 in less than an hour. In fact, right when I sat at that table, I saw the tail end of that hand. The next hand I had AJ and Jack on the board and he bet big. I called. Rags come out on the turn and river. He bet on each and I just called. He had K high. If I did not see that hand, I may have folded.

Keeping track of showdown hands and how much they bet pre and post flop is a good way to identify playing style. I didn't realize you could see mucked hands via "last hand" on PP until I read a post on here last week. Makes a huge difference.
