Villain seems like a tricky LAG who seems to think some what. We've played a lot of hands together and I think he knows that I'm very TAG.
Normally when I hit sets against PF raisers, I raise like this and try to get in usually on the turn. However, I'm thinking I should change it up especially against this guy. Does this raise scream "I have a set!" especially since he knows that I'm TAG? In a situation like this, should I just call, then let him lead the turn and then push?
Also, do you guys find that you get more calls if you just push the flop with a huge hand rather than reraising and trying to get in on the turn?
