To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

Whether tis nobler on the turn to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous suckouts
Or to take arms against a sea of outs
And by opposing, run into a set.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

When a Tag min-raises like this a lot of times, I see it as a flush draw.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

call.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

3bet and rake in pot after he fold.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

Easy call unless you're willing to felt TPTK against this opponent. Then obviously 3bet/call.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

How often do we think he has a solid hand here? The flop seems like a good opportunity to pick off a cbet for the villain. That is why I'm just not giving him enough credit here to want to call and see if he can hit his set or flush.

against non-TAGs (retards) i just pop it to 30 and get allin somehow.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

just call and if he takes a "felt u" line find a fold most of the time (ie he bets like 25ish on a turn blank) and probably give up on a spade turn unless he bets smallish and dont call a river shove either way.

Re: To raise, or not to raise, that is the question:
 

Call, call a bet on the turn or bet if checked to.
