Re: 77 - Truepoker 2/4 - Rivered Full House
With bottom full, on a board that contains straight and or flush possibilities, I raise all the time, and don't worry about the possible number of overcallers. Anyone with AK is going to come along, the same with K9, and in this situation, I have even seen hands like 98 call two. Even if you get raised, I don't necessarily think that you are behind, AK, might be playing you for a worse straight or trips ( it is 2-4 ).
I think the tight passiveness that you see on true is not a style of play that they adopt, but it is in a large part due to the looseness that you see preflop. They fold alot, because they just completely missed, and they also don't value bet one pair very hard, because the games play so loose that you really need two pair before you feel secure.
In this case, you bet the flop, and both players DID call, so they must have some values, and you are more likely to get overcalls even though they might not have real good values for this board.
I also think that if you play a typical 2+2 style on true, your opponents will be a little extra loose passive dealing with you postflop, (at least that seems to be my experience) because you are making so many more bets than any of your other opponents, that they are suspicious, but at the same time, they don't want to get into a raising war with you. Your image, is probably not that of a maniac, but you are probably considered a LAG by most of your opponents there.
Good luck,
Play well,
