This is neither a "big laydown" nor is it a "standard" laydown. It is in-between. Make as educated a guess as you can.

Re: a big river fold

Your whole point was to try to make it look like you were pushing him around again. Sounds like your plan worked to perfection.

Re: Dumb minimum raises.

I think it's dumb that you think it's dumb to steal blinds in a cash game.

I used to think mid-raises were dumb all the time, now I just think it's dumb most of the time.

Re: Brunson Question.

The strategy is more correct when you consider it as part of the metagame. And metagame is more relevant live, at higher stakes, and against opponents who have seen you before and will see you again.

Re: Table image: putting Humpty Dumpty back together again

I think your problems come from getting too afraid of losing big money at 1000. Do you really feel you are sufficiently bankrolled for that game?
