Re: HOH3 Problem 1
The only reason I raise here is to lay out a LAGgy preflop image. That said, I want to show the hand down as cheaply as possible post flop, especially if it improves enough to call bets (i.e. paired somehow or drawing).
Keep in mind that the loose players to my right will give me less cred when I play back at them when they see me make a standard preflop raise with T8.
One thing I'm NOT trying to do is play a big pot OOP, so callers that aren't in a blind make this an automatic check/fold if I miss the flop.
I have to be feeling especially frisky to pull this move.
85% of the time I'm just open folding. It's probably too early to be spewing chips for metagame.
