cbloom, I know what you are saying, and Killian, I understand what you are saying as well. You are seeming to misunderstand each other.

Cbloom is suggesting that re raising preflop puts his money in as a bluff because he will be put into a lot of tough decisions on the flop/turn/river because his hand is vulnerable on every street. He feels his bet preflop is a bluff and might be bloating the pot which may force him to fold against a TAG when he is OOP and doesnt improve or an overcard appears, right?

And killian is saying that we most likely have the best hand and should re raise preflop for value. We should bet the flop because we most likely have the best hand, and that we will be put in even tougher spots post flop because we didnt reraise preflop.

I think that cbloom is missing the idea that he will indeed fold preflop sometimes so we get value in reraising and sometimes he will call preflop and fold to our cbet so thats also very profitable. On top of that sometimes we will flop a set and that's obv a very profitable situation as well especially when theres already a ton of money in the pot before the flop. Also, if we bet on this flop after RR'ing preflop and he raises, what hands do we put him on? Most of that range beats us so folding is probably okay.

I'm with Killian, reraise preflop and bet the flop. As played, CR flop.
