Re: $33 - blind v blind 2nd hand

Again though, I'm in the non-raising crowd on the flop.

I typically lean toward not raising as much as alot of people on the flop. Pot control, inducing bluffs (so many people love to keep firing at you), etc.
I was trying to come up with some reasons why I like raising here. Here goes:
1) Especially early in SNGs, I like to take some pots, get a decent stack, get in and get out of hands. I don't really want to play around here and let him get free cards.
2) More important reason: I like to pop the SB in the mouth in spots like this, to send the message that he can't be raising and auto betting me the whole damn game. We've all seen that guy: He probably notices that we fold alot to PF raises, so he keeps this crap up the entire game.
I'm of the 'slap him on the nose with the newspaper and make him whimper into the corner' crowd when I get a chance against the SB.
