I don't like a raise on the flop, vs a nit, who leads into you.

Sure, you might buy yourself a free card, and you build the pot for when you hit, but your fold equity is very low, and I would prefer just getting the money in slow, until you hit.

Granted, it's gonna be hard to play for stacks, if the pot is building slower, and he's gonna be scared when any of your outs come in.

Hmm, maybe a smaller raise would be better. Nits tend not to 3-bet the flop very often, and it has the same effect as the bigger raise, without risking as much.

Meh, I'm torn on the flop raise, it's probably about the same, either way, with a draw like this.

psu,

i think i would get paid off, just based off my normal semi lagginess image......i do fire a lot of bets post flop and im pretty sure this guy wont let go of his hand.....

In such a case, calling would be better. I didn't know that was your impression, and my thoughts are most nits would be able to fold that hand if you hit.

FWIW and if I haven't said this already, I agree with this point...I didn't like the flop raise all that much.
