Typical situation
Let's call it 30/60 partypoker. You raise 88 in mid position. Typical mediocre player cold calls in late position. Another typical mediocre guy calls in the big blind. Let's say these guys are 24/9/1.1 types.
Flop Q72 with 2 hearts. BB bets out. What is your standard play? |

Re: Typical situation
I think raising > calling > folding so I keep my default to raise. He'll start having 78 again once im out of mhy breakeven stretch.

Re: Typical situation
I would definitely raise this in the middle (I feel like I'm saying that a lot lately on here). BB could easily bet out a hand like: a heart draw, a pair of sevens, or maybe something like 10's he just called out of the BB (or even something random like AJ or AK on occasion). I think you need to drive the person behind you out and take control of the hand - this will avoid more costly mistakes later.
Also, if you raise, he should fear AQ unless he is maniacal. If later actions suggest he doesn't they will be more reliable than had you just called (generally). Jeff |

Re: Typical situation
if his aggression factor really is 1.1 then i'd rather fold. that's really passive. otherwise i like a raise because you will probably get a cheap showdown via checking down the river if he has a Q
