Default Re: Are these snowmen good?

Really? I've been less aggressive preflop in NL based on the posts I see here in the NL forum. Anyone have a good PF guide? I searched and I always see the "money is made post flop" argument.

For example, do you generally 3 bet in position with JJ and TT preflop? If so whats the raise size?

So fold the river? (note: he didn't small river raise me, he donked)

raise PF. Dunno why you make a distinction NOT to do it in NL, as you want to maximize your PP's and protect your hands at all costs, especially when you got the button. On the flop you wanna bring it to 2 bucks. turn was fine IMO. I'd prolly call the river, but its really dependent on how i feel at the time, many times i'm folding.

His flop bet looks like a flush draw, given its weakness and the fact that he was checked to without any PF raisers. The turn check only strengthens this idea as does the small river raise.

No, don't ever 3-bet preflop with anything less than AA/KK. In many cases, just calling the reraise with KK is appropriate.

It is good to raise preflop in this hand, because
a) you have position
b) your hand is most likely the best so far
c) you want to build the pot for when you hit a set
d) if you don't hit a set, you can likely win the pot with a continuation bet
