Check the flop. If MP is straightforward, you should get a better idea where you stand after seeing the action. If it goes check, bet, I might raise given mp's tendencies. If ep bets and mp raises, I'm done. If ep bets and mp calls, I might call and bet most turns.

Agreed.

Also i think he was trying to say you're weak-tight. I would 3-bet this preflop.

OK! I am going to give you kids a little lesson. First, set down your Ed Miller book. Ready?

The theoretical correct play when you have the best hand preflop is to raise and reraise as is probably the case here. However, as you gain expertise you become capable of making reads that allow you to divert from the assumed correct play. This is playing counterintuitively if you will.

In this situations I could have threebet preflop, the UTG would have capped since thats what he does in these situations and the MP would have called. Now, do I have any better read on what MP has. NO!

In this situation, I called, EP limp-reraised(as predicted) and MP just called. Now, do I have a better read of what MP has?

There is also deceptive value to just calling here since I could have a pretty big range of hands I called with. If I three bet my range would be much smaller.

I usually do three bet in this situation but decided to take a different approach. My biggest problem is that I am overly aggressive certainly not weak tight.

Now stop believing everything you read and start thinking for your self.
