NL25 Extracting value. 3 hands

[jmgambler]

Maybe its me, but I tend to pot the flop, If I am the PF raiser, When I get my hand caught in the cookie jar it sets me up to get paid on my big hands.

Hand 1 is standard aside from above
hand 2 Raise the flop, but as there was no PF raiser here, I wouldn't expect much either
Hand 3 PF is pissy its almost a mini-raise, Flop, bet pot again.
If he had JQ,JK he would still have called a PSB on the flop

What do you all think about flat calling the flop in hand 2 to attempt to get a weaker hand to pay me off? He's a tight player so 67 is unlikely and I don't think you can be too paranoid about just one opponent having a flush draw.

Maybe I could get pairs below the king to come along and then flat call again with a non scary turn.

Well on the turn you have filled up and are in position, so I may well have called his turn bet HOPING he catches his flush

But again, if we had properly built the pot by this point, getting the money in would be much easier and we wouldn't be worrying about letting him catch up to a good 2nd best hand.

Thanks for the advice. I think you are right, I should bet bigger most of the time and try to build the pots early on.
