i really think you should fold or 3bet preflop. i also think that you should c/r turn after c/ring flop.

also lol at the c/mr, its not necessarily bad but it is funny and probably suboptimal if it resigns you to doing this with your big hands.

I don't know why I have so much trouble folding these 'pretty' hands OOP preflop. I know I'm supposed, but it's easily the least disciplined aspect of my game.

So many people min-CR my cbets, I thought I'd try it out. Seems like a really cheap way to bluff, and based on my typical response to them, very effective.

I don't mind the cmr. You'll slow him down a lot and possibly folds out better hands like mid pairs

But why though?

I mean, it feels to me like he folds all his non-ace hands, regardless of whether I 2x, 3x or 4x his bet, and I don't imagine there's many Ax hands he calls 2x but folds to 4x with.

I don't hate calling here but you have to be willing to bluff a lot of flops.
