hm, he raises with the same hands I call with

[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]

At what point do you draw the line? I think this kind of thinking will result in folding too many hands just cuz you don't have a feel for where you are in a hand. If you are constantly mucking hands that potentially have a fair amount of preflop equity (relative to opponents might hold) ... that seems bad.

In the extreme case, let's say someone is a 100/100 - raising with every single hand in every position. Now ... sure he *Might* have kings because, as someone said, even fish get deal kings ... but regardless, you better believe if he's on my direct right and I look down at a KJ I'm making it 3 bets and trying to isolate.

So my question is, at what point do you draw the line and start playing & raising these marginal hands against poor opponents?
