Floating flops
I notice that some LAG/TAGs and LAGs like to call tight players with air on the flop HU, hoping to steal the pot later on if the TAG shows weakness. Is this ever a valid strategy? Do any of you ever...

Re: Can\'t fold here, right?
Raising the flop for value... I don't see the value in a raise. SB either has us beaten pretty badly or is drawing very slim (possibly dead if he is just taking a quick shot at the pot). Also, how...

Re: Can\'t fold here, right?
Calling the flop is fine... button should just go away most of the time, and we can snap off SB's possible bluff. I would fold to the flop raise though. Believe it or not, people:

Re: Berated for the way I played these 2 hands
Hand #1: c/c... use your relative position on the pre-flop raiser to your advantage. You don't want to pay more than a single small bet.
Hand #2: Possibly the worst flop call I have ever seen...

I am guessing that SB had the same hand as you and was pissed to see you betting and raising with button when he felt that button held a set. If he was the one berating you, tell him to fold his damn...

You can call or cap the flop, if SB is decently aggro then calling is probably best play.

Villain is 28/21/2.64 after 1500 hands. He tends to be over-aggro, and is quite tricky. UTG is a fish. Comments welcome on any street.
