JJ: Too Passive?

[Mythra]

I know 50NL is too small, but I'm moving up to 100NL very soon.
Just wanted to know how I played this one.
I didn't re-raise pf because villain was solid 20/10, from UTG+1, and I was out of position.

I put him on AA/QQ/KK/AKs/99 when I saw his flop action and just let it go. Am I too passive or is this standard?

Raise preflop everytime

uNL gives good advice too, I go over there sometimes. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Definitely reraise preflop, he's raising from the CO, not UTG.

I would call the flop. If I'm villain I make this raise with any two cards I raised preflop with. Realize that you're a showing a lot of strength by calling, though. So check-folding turn after that would be okay.

Raise preflop.

I'd probably lead the flop, even with the way you played it.

[Mythra]

Thanks for quick reply guys.

say I lead out on the flop for $5 or so. Fold when re-raised?

Say I lead out and get called on the flop. What do I do on the turn? Lead out with pot sized bet on a safe card? or shut down?

[mlane]

yea, re-raise pre flop and then lead flop as u might get utg to call and orginal raiser to fold a/k, tough decision when he raises, i would fold what does everyone else think.

[beardedwhale]

He is a pretty tight PF raiser, so you should probably fold if raised on the flop.

If he calls flop, I would bet around 3/4 pot on the turn.

[Praetor]

why would you lead the flop if you dont think your hand is strong enough to 3 bet his raising range?

[beardedwhale]

? I said raise PF. Are you saying to 3-bet the flop after leading into 2 players and getting raised?
