villain is good, pretty laggy, 29/25/2.75.

My read was that he always bet the pot when he had a hand. SoI decided to raise him here when he didnt.

TBH - I don't really like this, the board connects with a lot of villains range (TT+ AT...), the flop is very drawy, and you basically minbet him....

I would like this play if it were the other way round... if you were the 3-better preflop and the flop was not as drawy, you could try something like this, but be careful.... villain connects with this flop a lot, and is not going to fold a draw to a minbet as he is getting correct odds to call.

Maybe he is betting small to induce a raise....I dont like this play.

Board is too draw heavy to do this kind of thing imho, and if u want to raise him, raise him, not this barely above minraise crap :P

I am letting this go on the flop. As played you do need to raise it more for this kind of thing to work.

i thought the barely above minraise would look stronger than a shove. It would be crazy to do that as a bluff right?

Villain folded, went on tilt and proceeded to spew off a bi to me.

I still think that this is a very risky play, but if you think your read is good enough, then its up to you.

Im learning more and more to trust my instincts when it comes to these things. I had definitely picked up on the bet pot thing, and was thought it was strong enough to act on it.
