Default Re: 2 5/10 NL 6 max hands, I\'m turning into a LAG

Munkster-

The problem with making a continuation bet is that you'll be faced with a cr on this board very often. Given that BB called a RR, and MP is playing "Laggy" yet checked the flop, indicates there's a very good chance you'll be played back at; this board isn't very scary to JJ-AA, and since villain had been playing very loose they will be less inclined to give him credit for a big hand.

If it was heads up this hand would be completely different. Still, a pot bet here is terrible because it commits hero to calling a cr.

2/3 pot bet shows a fine amount of strength without committing as much of his stack (if heads up).

The great thing about checking through this flop, is that if you hit, no one can give you credit for your hand and you can still break QQ-AA (JJ just filled up).
