defending against small cont bets.
Occasionally, you find a person who seems to be betting into the flop 80-90% OOP, so before you have a chance, lets say we're not hitting our cards, and hes just betting potsize into the flop and being very aggressively.
do any of you make a table image of being tight'ish so that you can in a few hands later raise him with trash a few times and try to stop him from being so agg. or is it better to fly out the gate and raise him right away to get him guessing asap. |

Re: defending against small cont bets.
Usually he'll just raise you again, which turns the hand into a drawn-out coin-flip sort of situation where the outcome depends on who hits their pair. These guys aren't playing poker; they are playing a mutated form of blackjack with 7 cards.
If you don't mind enduring the variance, running these guys down can be profitable, although I prefer to just tighten up a bit and wait. Use check-raises more liberally against them as well, since you know they'll be betting regardless. |

if they're betting OOP you cant check raise them. I fire right back at them anytime I think i have the better hand.
