OMG freakdaddy! Welcome back!

How's the 100BB challenge coming along?

I would bet less on the flop, and I would just call the min-raise, then play poker on the turn.

Against some villians, with a good image, I will re-raise for value.

And checking is fine and good, on occation, as well. Specific conditions I would prefer to have in place would be agro villian who will fire with air. Some sort of reason for people to think that I might not be continuation betting as frequently as normal. To be seen calling down light, in recent hands.

Thanks. Been playing a lot of live high stakes games lately for a change and not visiting the forum much.

The challenge went fine. I quit after ~4k hands, and came very close. Got bored and realized that people completely misunderstood my statements.

I agree that ideally I'd rather check against an aggro opponent in order to induce a mistake, but I do the same against an unknown in position for precisely these reasons with this hand and this flop. I don't want to play a big pot with this hand, but I'll gladly call down with position on turn and river.

I guess I've been doing these more in my live games and seeing good results. I haven't been playing a lot of online games recently though, but I thought I'd share this with the forum. A read a recent poll somewhere that when most amateur poker players are asked what are the key components of winning at poker the top two responses were bluffing and luck. I don't recall the number of responses, but I think that sums up the state of mind of a lot of our opponents.
