Default Re: Question on Variance & judging your play

[ QUOTE ]
vs other big stacks:

small ball unless you got the goods. (or if they are hella spewy)
win pots without show downs.

[/ QUOTE ]

small ball unless i got the goods is standard for me
-if you say to win more pots without showdowns... does that mean i need start trusting my reads more and do more 3-betting, raising on earlier streets and then go with my read if villain shoves and puts me to a decision. I have noticed that lately I am becoming more of a check-caller and reaching many more showdowns than last month. Should i start raising more and finding out where I stand on the turn more to a)possibly end the hand without showing & b)hone my post flop play, becoming more comfortable with these larger pots i am building with more re-raises. I must admit, i come from gavin smith school and do not do much 3betting or re-raising.
