Re: Do you get away from THIS hand?
Hmmm... I actually read him for top pair good kicker, not a straight or flush draw; he seemed relatively ABC with his raises, not LAGgy. So I wasn't worried about an A or 9 coming. I tend to call raises when there is a draw on the board, I have a monster, and the raiser is straightforward in his raises (i.e. he doesn't raise draws). This way, he thinks I'm chasing, and tries to "protect" his hand, which allows me to pop him on the turn (which often looks even more suspiciously like a LAG raising his draw! beautiful).
So I'm not going to raise that flop. I think passive play was the right play against this guy. It just so happens that he hit one of his four outs... and my question stands: do you get away from the low boat?
