crimson, thats just an awful line, your initial one that is. Nation, felt here imo. Call pre, call flop, call turn

Just to add to this - I 8-table and still find time to squeeze when I see a good spot.. it's not like we barely have time to make our actions.

Not saying the same about this guy but I can definitely squeeze lighter than JJ+ if I see the right spots.

As for your hand, I like your line you suggested when you peel decent flop and pot control.

Lets look at this way. I will throw out random numbers here. If he bets $35 on flop and you min raise or raise to say $80. How is that worse than calling $35 on flop and $35-$45 bet on the turn? The only difference is you really do not know where you stand by just calling a guy down. This creates a lot of difficult decisions and I try and keep decisions as simple as possible. Plus, if I make a mistake, I rather it be for being to aggressive instead of to passive. If the flop is 9,5,2 a 10 on the turn (everyone checks) and a king on the river. Are you going to fold to $50 bet on the river? If he checks the river and you check behind him and flips over AK, you let him catch by being too passive. If you had raised the flop his AK never would catch. These are the types of situations that can be avoided. The worst that can happen is you know where you stand and fold confidently by raising the flop. By calling down, you give him a chance to catch up if he is behind and lose the same or more money by calling down if he is ahead. Of course, if you call down you may also catch your 22-1 shot at a queen if you are behind, but I think we can all agree that is not a profitable play.

This does sound nice. You would get JJ and TT monies more often by letting him bet at rags on flop and turn. Of course you don't know if you're up against AA/KK though.
