Re: Solid Players Raising Trash
I raise numerous times each session in late position with no one in or in some cases a predictable opponent who I have good control over. I may win the pot cause of position. Plus the times I showdown the hand the table will see I raised it.
There's no need to make an "image" play after the flop because the times you showdown (whether your hand is good or not) will give off the effect you want.
There's no need, however, to raise the really trashy hands (except as a blind steal) since whether you raise with 8-3 or 9-7 doesn't make too much of a difference once your opponents see you raised with it preflop. Either way everybody knows you were raising with a hand most people don't raise with. So why raise with a hand that has almost no chance of winning like 8-3(blind steals excepted.) 9-7 is good enough for me in late position.
But if you can't play well after the flop then this will cost you money at first. But you'll never get good at post flop play unless you put yourself in a lot of weird situations like this.
