Re: Weak-Tight?
I don't understand why you would play 22 this fast on a 249 board when you're pretty sure the opponent has an overpair. What does that accomplish besides slowing the opponent down. Like I said I'm about 100% sure he doesn't have a bigger pair.
I think he raised the flop to test me (wasn't a very large raise) and then improved on the turn and now that I've showed weakness by calling his raise and checking the turn he's going to commit his stack. But then again maybe I've giving $50 NL players a little too much credit to make smart decisions |

I raise because waiting till the turn to raise is a donk move that gives away your hand almost entirely to any one with a brain. I raise because it looks like top pair to your average SSNL and they will often reraise me. (Hell, look at how uncertain you are now. You WANTED to call that with your overpair. You almost did, because your average SSNL player HATES folding an overpair, especially after being the preflop raiser.) But mainly, I raise because I like money, and I want to get more of it. I raise to build this pot and play for a big pot. In conclusion, I raise to get more money into the pot. But maybe I'm a simpleton. Edit: I said I would play it FASTER. I raise that flop to $12 and bet 3/4 the pot on the turn. |
