Thoughts on check-raising/slowplaying Vs. rarely doing it?
I responded to an earlier post telling someone I rarely check-raise or slowplay.
What's everyone's thoughts?
I recently made that adjustment to my game and it has helped a ton. I get a lot more action with my big hands and it is much easier to build my stack. I play a lot of hands and I'm pretty agressive with all of them.
Constantly pounding of other players makes them fight back, and many times they'll fight back with weaker hands than normal.
The style obviously comes from supersystem. I now laugh at most check-raises (I say most b/c there is a time and place) at the 2/4 table. People feel so "craftey" when they check-raise when in reality it costs them many future bets. I don't want people to fear me. Please, feel free to put money in my pots.
Just wondering what some of the good players on 2+2 thought.
