Re: $15-$30 hand from the Bellagio..anyone play it differently?
At this limit you need to get in as many bets as possible when holding the best hand, deception goes way down in value. However, smoothing callin the second raise from out of positon against an agressive opponent has its merits if he will raise your flop lead, putting pressure on the lady who has position. It all depends on how you want to control the action with your hand out of positon.
I also think it is important to have a well thought out game plan before the action gets to you for as many default situations as possible. You want to be agble to make these decisons in game tempo as you move up in stakes.
Personally, i probably would have cold called the reraise preflop and went from there. But against loose players or poor hand readers, putting in as many bets as possiblewith the nuts is never really "wrong".
