Default Re: Quick pf question

ok ill blow the cover here... this hand took place in a 10/20 6max game where i was BB and spam was the SB. i smoothcalled JJ out of the BB and would do this here regularly but often cap as well. could someone please explain to me why smoothcalling is so bad because i am very stubborn here that it is a good play.

reasons:

-i cannot get the lag to fold, he may even cap it himself.
-spam will not put me on a hand as strong as JJ with my smoothcall.
-spam will bet any flop and i can raise him to force out the lag protecting my hand. if i cap preflop then i cannot protect my hand.

extra reasons for smoothcalling even though id do it here anyway:

-ive been carddead and my image is extremely tight/weak.
-the lag is giving me alot of respect and by capping i think it will scare him out of playing weaker hands postflop, but again he will not fold preflop.
-spamuell is probably giving me alot of credit here as well as he has been folding his sb to me every time i am the bb about 4/5 times in a row.
