Default 55 like?

opening villan is tight. like 17/12 over a very small sample. i don't think he's that tight though. he hasn't played a tremendous amt of hands yet. other cold caller is tight as well, regular who runs like 19/16/3. they likely view me as a tag reg who can get aggro at times.

If I call the flop I'm raising the turn 100%, but I usually just raise the flop

Every river above a 6 is some degree of bad, as is any diamond or spade.

I would think that means there's not a lot of merit to calling the turn.

Agree, although I'm hesitant to say I "usually" raise flop here -- depends on opponent to some degree. Granted, I typically play AdXd like that and some other holdings like that, but I think orange's flop call may be read-dependent (e.g. that he's up against 2 tighties). Orange, be I correct?

Word. A turn push looks like it could be a draw or even air. Your raise size is clearly for value.

yah i like this. it looks like semi-bluff/bluff as they will expect you to have raised the flop w/a hand this strong

Do people really commonly shove 200bbs deep on Absolute with draws or air?
