raise the flop when the first bet comes to you, they will still call with a wide range of hands including straight draws and top pair. they will not lay down two pair and will raise a good percentage of the time with it. they raise with sets at an even greater frequency. you have an opportunity to stack them with a wide range of probable holdings. if you just call, if an 8, J or a K comes then your action is killed.

Hm, I like this line better than my original one. If they have two pair / a set / lower straight, they are going to call anyway or reraise me possibly, so it might be best to raise on the flop and create the action myself.

Bearing that in mind, how much do you think I should raise? To $11 or $12, maybe?
