Post Flop Play - Passive Better Than Aggressive...discuss

[Smart Money]

OK, I found the hand.

It was only three way, so the flop call is fine I think. I couldn't tell you my exact thoughts at the time but I was probably thinking I could use position to win the hand even if I didn't improve. So it was probably a mixture of loose call/float/advanced thinking(!!) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My limping w/AJo UTG+1 8-handed isn't text book; probably better to fold or raise- although it does mix my game up a little. (If you only limp here with small/mid pairs then a decent, observant player would never pay off your sets.)
