Re: I think I am too aggressive on the flop (1/2 6 max)
[ QUOTE ]
3: fold (raise or fold preflop) [/ QUOTE ] Routinely folding hands like A5o to a small blind open raise is way too tight. You're definitely losing a lot of money to anyone who raises every time. People seem to agree that reraising is a good idea. I'm wondering, what is your reraising range? Why do you reraise, is it mainly to take the initiative?

[ QUOTE ] If I'm the preflop raiser, which seems to be most of the time I see a flop, my default play is to bet or raise unless I have a specific reason not to. [/ QUOTE ] Can you elaborate on this? What are you looking for to tell you not to bet/raise? [/ QUOTE ] Scary boards: two or three cards higher than mine, monotone flop, highly coordinated flop like JT8, obvious stuff like that. I also look for passive opponents playing aggressively. And of course, if the pot is three or more handed I'll back off if I have nothing and there is some action.

Hand 4: Really obvious continuation bet (without a read). Betting is correct against most opponents even with a read. [/ QUOTE ] I of course bet here, which is why I made this post. I'm starting to rethink how automatic this is. This type of board is likely to have hit my opponent. Do you fold if check-raised? I guess you have to, since you've only got one overcard and a backdoor straight draw. What if he calls and donkbets a blank turn?

[/ QUOTE ] i didn't say to fold it preflop. i said raise or fold, and the choice comes down to what the guy's range is. am i going to 3-bet a semi-rock here? probably not, unless i feel i can blow him off something on a rag flop. and yeah, the reason to reraise is because you already have multiple things going for you: you have a strong hand, you're in position, and you can usually play better than the SB postflop (by hand-reading and evaluating board texture). giving yourself the chance to bet first is huge in a blind battle.
