Ok, loosen me up
 

Keep in mind that I folded this hand but I thought this might be a spot where I can get more aggro and stop being predictable. A) this guy thinks I'm nitty B) I don't know wtf he has here. I mean it could very well be a boat but I thought maybe raising it like 3x his lead (under potsized) would get the job done most likely.

Villain is a pretty aggressive Stars regular. I raise 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on the button, this guy calls. We each have like $260 in front. He's capable of making moves and like I said I believe he thinks he can push me around.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

he checks, I fire $14, he calls

Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

He leads for $22, (I debate making it $65-70).

Thoughts?

There are a billion spots you could open up your postflop game. This isn't one of them.

Didn't you quit?

If you are going to raise, min-raise. But probably not the best spot.

wow

Re: Ok, loosen me up
 

Would you raise any real hand in this spot or call the turn and give him more rope to hang himself?

Okay, how about this one from last night...this might become the running make FGators play more creatively thread...

this guy seems to be kind of tight/passive

I raise 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in CO to $8 with $350 total, BB calls (He has $400).

Flop: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

He leads $12, I call

Turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

He leads $16, I raise to $58

depends...against this guy I might raise him with an ace..with a jack I'd usually just call.

Re: Ok, loosen me up
 

raising in hand 1 isn't as bad as others are saying presuming by aggressive you mean like 23/20 ish. There just aren't a lot of hands in his range that he's not insta-folding tbh.

Hand 2 I raise flop all day.
