Default Re: Got criticized by cts for this one

i'm not sure how many better hands fold to this raise. only a few slightly higher pairs, maybe (and even they might stick around on this flop, which is quite prone to being semibluffed). also, many draws may call, and have the advantage of position and your hand being too weak to continue betting safely.

of course, you'll chase off naked overcards or weak draws or underpairs much of the time, but you're already ahead of them. not to say that c/c is necessarily the best play either.

basically, i think you're putting too much money in here in a slim raising situation, and most of his draws that call will win, whether by getting there or by pushing you off later in the hand.
