I play almost exclusively live. I have started messing around with $500 on full tilt, 4-tabling 50NL full ring.
I have been break even so far (up only $100 over nearly 5,000 hands).
I am playing LAG style, opening pretty liberally and continuation-betting 95 percent of the time. This has allowed me to pick up a lot of small pots, obv.
I have struggled a bit against a player calling my raise, then making the minimum raise (or check-raise) on the flop.
What percentage of the time does this raise signify the nuts or close to it (a set, etc.)? A few times, it has turned out to be a free-card play from a drawing player in position or a weak steal attempt testing me.
But it seems like 85 percent of the time or more I am looking at a set or, sometimes, slowplayed AA or KK.
Are you routinely folding, say, JJ if a player calls your raise, then min-raises you when it comes 972 rainbow?
Thanks for any help.
