Default Re: Too aggressive on BB Def? (PP 15)

Preflop raise is right, but I don't like your line at all after that. I think you should really be folding to his flop bet here. He could easily have Ax, Kx, 7s-9s there. Even if he has nothing at all, calling down is better than raising because when you're ahead he may bluff that board. When you're behind (say a king or jack) and you raise, he'll call down fearing the ace so you're out a SB more than you would've just calling down. In my opinion though, when you raise the flop and he calls you're dead in the water. You aren't blowing him off any hand he has so I'm not putting any more bets into the pot after this point. Especially once that jack hits because hands like q/j and j/10 who will bluff that flop just got there against your hand. I'd check the turn and fold the river unimproved if he bets.
