deep 1/2 TC hand
 

tight-passive, predictable postflop player who goes too far with one pair (~$350-400) opens for $12 in ep (std open had been 7 or 8). tricky/aggressive/good player calls in lp, he has the entire table covered twice over. i call in the sb with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. i have about 650-700.

flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

i check, opener bets $25, mp folds, i make it $75.

thoughts to this point?

I like....although depends on what EP thinks of you. If smoothcalling here will set off alarm bells for EP, I like raising. If EP won't think much of a call (or won't think at all) then I like just calling as not many cards hurt you on the turn (assuming he has a big PP, cards that hurt you: another 2, or his set card).

The more I think about it the more I like raising even more than you did. If has only AK then you're not getting any money out of him, but if he has a big PP you'll likely get him to push, which you instantly call.

Then again I don't know the villain (I assume this was from Friday's game, not BPC last night) so that might change my thinking as well.

results?
 

what did he have?

this was from friday's game. i don't think you know the villain, but he played with me a bunch last year and isn't clinically retarded, so that may have something to do with his tendency to go too far with one pair against me.
