Default Re: NL50: TPTK OOP gets raised on flop on fairly dry board by unknown

It would be a huge mistake if I had a hand that I definitely wanted to stack off with, but I'm not sure TPTK is that hand on this board, although if it is then you are certainly correct.

With TPTK OOP against an unknown though I would rather subtly persuade villain to play straightforwardly if I can, since it makes my decisions easier and negates some of the positional disadvantage. It's also not very exploitable on his part since my UTG raising range is tight enough that QQ+ is a real threat.

What I'm really saying is that the 'unknown' part is important here, and inclines me to seek play that is closer to optimal (or unexploitable) than exploitive, since exploitive play should necessarily rely on a read that we don't have.
