[I'm a noobie disclaimer: this is just my 2 cents below...]

The LAG raises with the hands I call with *plus* the hands I raise with. My observations is that this can put me at a disadvantage if I call because when I hit postflop I don't have a good sense if I'm dominated or not. He's put me in a gambling situation. Being a LAG reraising him on the flop isn't going to tell much because he'll probably just reraise if he's hit the same pair. So my assumtion would be unless you can determine somehow confidently postflop that you have him beat, don't gamble that this time he's raising with something you have dominated. Again i'm a still a noobie. Maybe my thinking is an example of weak tight play, feel free to let me have it if I'm wrong so that I may improve. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That is worth at least 20 cents ten times the value you gave it. If someone is raising that much I want to wait for a better hand than KJ QJ. I want them to be gamboling not me.
Plus if you think their full of BS you will end up paying a lot to find out "crap even Lags get kings from time to time".
Let them have their fun and take the time in the folded hand to get a better postflop read that will help you when you have a hand to "go to war" with. I also like the advice of playing w/o gametime. The more I play without Pokerace the less I look at it when it is up. I think we should all try to do one session a week without a stats display, and realy concentrate on getting and keeping that reading skill. Plus this will help us find and take advantage of certain players weaknesses as we move up where they all get better but not better in the same way.
