Re: Got criticized by cts for this one
Being that Villian is super aggro, and probably realizes it(meaning that he knows you view him that way) then a check-raise by you on flop might actually appear to him as a sign of partial weakness. I mean most people nowadays advocate leadin into aggro raiser with big hand and/or check callin...check/raising theoretically usually indicates either a complete bluff. or perhaps hand with some sort of weakness that you want to take pot down quickly with. unless of course you are a donk, or use it purposely with strength to mix it up a bit.
The question you have to ask yourself would you have check-raised here with a set? if the answer is no, then you are allowing him to put you on a hand that he can get you off of.
Perhaps a better line to indicate strength would be to lead out, and if he raises as most aggro do, come back and 3-bet him strong. he will almost certainly or alteast should let go of stronger hands than you. any thoughts?
