Too aggressive on flop?
After this hand played out, I asked myself whether it was really a good idea to raise the flop, given that I would want players behind me to stay in to pay me off if I hit my draw. Would it have been better to just call the flop?

Re: Too aggressive on flop?
Very nice. Look at your results, two players cold called. They'll do it again. Plus, it makes it harder to put you on a draw when the spade hits.
In my book, you cannot be too aggressive [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: Too aggressive on flop?
I think the raise is fine, and probably _made_ you money. One player folded. The most likely results if you didn't raise are either --
(1) they'd call & fold on the turn. You lose one small bet. (2) they'd fold anyway. You lose two small bets. The raise is a slight value bet which gives you control of the action ... I think this was played well. |

Re: Too aggressive on flop?
If UTG wasn't such a wuss you would have made a lot more. Raising the flop may clean-up your ace out. Nice hand.
