Default Re: Too aggressive?

It seems like capping the flop + betting out on the turn if no flush card hits is almost always a set in a raised pot. I would've called the turn and river. If it was 3 bets on the flop and then he bet out the turn, then I would've raised, as it's usually something much weaker.

On the second hand, I would've raised the flop as you're giving away your hand on the turn if you wait to raise. Also, as Bartholow mentioned, if it looks like JT, it is, always. I have no idea why this is, but it's remarkably reliable in my experience.

It's good to be aggressive, but after you raise preflop and people start going to war with you, you need to give them credit for good hands on occasion. Both were far too reckless unless you have a superb feel for your opponents. It's ok to call down with big hands when the situation calls for it.
