Re: Playing small ball

Yeah, I think I bet turn or raise river. I raise river given how you've played it, but calling isnt horrible. Since you have a tight image, only KQ KJ (of the hands you beat) would call your river raise.

Actually that was part of the reason I did not raise/bet. I think he would have folded a dominated hand.
As it played out... he had KT and was mad at me for not "raising him out sooner."
The table thought I was a retard and I thought that my happiness was probably results-oriented. I think not raising here is a bad thing if it becomes my default play though for metagame reaons. Not that this game is tough... but a thinking player could catch on to the fact that my raises are more likely to be bluffs and draws since I give rope so often.
So, everyone tell me how you mix it up in these spots.
