Hand 1: Raise the turn or river, or just make sure every street is bet?

i think raising the turn on hand 1 is appropriate if you are comfortable folding to a 3bet. otherwise raising is going to bleed chips, against unknowns imo. hand 2 is standard.

I'm not sure based on the last couple of hands that you've posted that your sense for how much aggression you need to apply is correct to really milk the 15/30 game for all that it's worth right now.

You're ahead of the SB like 90% of the time in Hand 1 and I'm certainly going to want more bets to go in at some point, most likely on the river. If he's canny enough to get action by playing trips this way well more power to him.

I'd be more comfortable 4-betting a 3-bet than folding to it.

That's putting it diplomaticly, I'm leak central in the 15/30 game right now. I'm beating the rake though, I guess that's something. I have about another dozen hands cued up from the last couple of weeks, hopefully some of this advice will sink in.

The more I think about it, the more I think raising the river is the way to go.

i am sure that nate's post is more on the money than mine. i often times get these aggression questions wrong because i simply cannot fathom how loose-aggressive these PP players are from the descriptions on these forums. in live games, the play is far more passive in every situation.
