Re: Consequences of decreasing aggression
I have been meaning to write an essay post on a related subject regarding how the general encouragement of aggression on this board leads us to be over agressive oftentimes and costs us money. The thought sunk in during my latest reading of ToP, and came out in an spirted discussion I had with Baronzeus over a bet/call line versus a check/call line on the river. I might start composing that post soon. This is related to the same idea as you are presenting.
Still, I raise the flop in hand one, esp on a two flushed board. On rainbow flop I don't mind a call on the flop if you raise the turn. I don't really like how you played hand one, but I want to make clear this does not mean I reject the substantive premise of your post.
Hand 2 looks good to me.
