Default Re: pearljammed\'s raises

A couple of thoughts

I always open raise any hand, which puts pressure on all behind me.

SOoner or later, i find out that either
i) people are calling, then floating on the flop, in which case i need to tighten up
ii) people are laying down and getting killed, in which case , i will loosen up, and rob you blind.

So, if no one (including yourself) was standing up to him, why the hell would he stop?

I think you had to resteal off him at some stage, say when you are button, or CO. Otherwise, you are in the horrible situation where
i) you dont get to steal blinds
ii) you dont get to play many hands
iii) as the tourney goes on, your relative blinds increase, so you are more hamstrung.

As for not pushing, most retards dont know that it is (usually) good poker just to shove with 11 or 12bb or less. But, if a table is willing to be slaughtered, time and time again, for only a betgo raise, then why shove?
