Default Re: confused TP vs super aggro in pos

When you've got position on a guy like this you can't be a caller.

Wrong, IMO. Give 'em rope, they hang themselves. And you give them rope by calling and trapping (with hands like this). They are so used to running over calling stations who call a bet on the flop, and then wilt to a big turn bet...that when you call, they think they are in that same situation. Save the raises for the turn or river. Often when they encounter someone playing back at them, they shut down. Keep them the aggressor and watch them overextend themselves.

You have a valid point. That's a pretty standard way to play aggro on your right, but there's a big difference in a LAG and TAG. So which are we talking about.

If I'm going to be faced with this guy doing this constantly I'm going to do just as you suggest and that's go into my "bear trap" mode. I'm really not sure about this hand with a made straight flopped. I think its a really weak play to be limping in CO with a strong hand.

I think your point is valid and well made, but I don't consider KJs to be a trapping hand.
