why are you raising this flop?

[cold_cash]

What are you hoping to accomplish by raising the flop?

He's going to play back at you a huge percentage of the time.

I would call the flop and see what the BB does.

If he folds and I miss the turn I would figure out how often I need to be good unimproved to call down UTG and play accordingly.

Raise if you actually make a hand.

I guess thats why I am losing all the time in 6 max, I just be agg. at the wrong times.

I thought that he thinks I don't have an ace and he bets. I raise and if he 3-bets, I fold. Then when he 3-bets I thought, he knows I know he thinks I don't have an ace and I raised to bluff, so he 3-bets to make me believe he has an ace even though he don't have it. I call.

Now the K comes and he bets and I am confused and fold.

[cold_cash]

Sometimes it's okay to just call, especially against a guy like this.

You basically never know what he has. The possibilites are endless.

What you need to do is take a look at your hand and the size of the pot/expected pot and make an estimate at how often you'll be good. If both of those look favorable, show it down.

Just don't barf chips all over this guy with Queen high. Get a decent or semi-decent hand and then go to war.

Well, do you really think someone with a VPIP of 68% and a 53% pfr thinks like that?

[POKhER]

63/53 and he limps UTG?

I think you could even call down and win a few ahnds vs this guy. If he raises 53%, Wtf is he limping with?

Raising flop, folding turn sucks.

Either fold the flop or just call down. Sure the ace or king = you're screwed if he holds, but he limped... and hes PFR = 53%.

just my opinion /images/graemlins/smile.gif

p.s. Dont show you folded, Cut the action there.
p.p.s. Drop me a PM if you want a sweat, I like sweatign and i may learn something /images/graemlins/smile.gif Having 1hr break from plauying at the mo so if you want.. Pm.
