HERO, NOW WHAT??

I don't klnow much about these stakes but I'd probably just go all in on the flop when he raises me.

If you don't mind, just as an aside, pretend this is 400NL vs a tricky TAG what do people think of:

1) bet/folding the flop?
2) check/calling the flop and betting a blank turn intending to call any raise?

Thanks.

I think at these stakes I would just shove on the flop, or the turn now that I got there.

Regarding pokerplaya's q:
1)bet/folding the flop would suck and is far too exploitable. really though these questions are so opponent dependant, so its impossible to answer.
2)assuming TAG plays quite aggressive postflop in general, then this line may be good, but it is too opponent/gameflow dependant.

1) Well hands that raise us either flipping or have us beat so the only hands that we get value from are ones that only call our flop bet (as opposed to raising). But yeah thius would be a very exploitable line and would require some adjustment on our part.

2) Well is it a disaster if the flop checks through?

cardshark202

its not a disater if its checked through no. turn is an easy bet then obv

if a tag raises you on this flop and he doesnt get out of line much then just fold. getting it all in on flops like this is much more exploitable than folding.

in this hand you should call the minraise then check fold the turn

Funny enought that's what I planned to do when I called the min raise but then I lost the plot.

If it was pocket kings with an ace on the flop and the betting went this way there would be no prob dropping them.

I posted this hand because its the latest episode of the mistakes I've been making last couple of days.

On tilt taking a break.
