Default Re: It worked, but too agg???

PF is fine.

I think you're better off calling on the flop for a few reasons.

#1 - You probably don't have as many outs as you think you have. There's a good chance that hitting a K or Q could make you a second best hand. Given the seeming level of aggression that you play with - this would be bad.

#2 - Raising isn't really gaining you value. By my estimations, it's pretty close to your hand even having 1/3 equity in the pot - and I think it's actually a little bit below 1/3.

#3 - By only calling on the flop - you keep UTG in the betting lead on the turn which will allow you to gain some value on a BB street if you hit. (You've also made it easier for MP to call 1BB and get trapped on the turn because he won't fear a raise since you just called the flop)

Overplaying draws/overcards like this is going to cost you $$$ in the long term. Also, the free card flop play is overrated. Use it sparingly and understand why and when you should and shouldn't be using it.
