66 on the button

[mach3]

I have a brainfart and limp. Ick. Blinds call. UTG+1 leads - but he is a moron and I'm not afraid, we have been playing games with each other. I decide to see the turn and like it, raise, BB calls 2 cold - bleh. Easy check on the river when the heart comes?

agree, raise the flop.

I would probably raise the flop, but otherwise put those two on a fish list.

Easy check on the river no matter what comes.

I've been focusing more on turn raises, especially on trickier hands, w/ good results. It seems that no one gives any merit to a flop raise since everyone and their brother tries the free card play (strictly speaking for PP15/30).

In this particular instance, I was zeroing in on the lead bettor, and wanted to knock the blind out. I didn't think he had much when he checked the flop and turn - was really surprised he called 2 cold. Worked out for me this time - but I guess w/ more then 1 player it is best to raise the flop to see where you stand.
