I don't like this. Who cares what you're representing to a tagfish? They don't think about your hand, they think about their hand vs aggression. You want the hand that's going to c/f on the turn to fold on the flop before he improves, however unlikely, on the turn. You want to build a bigger pot should you hit. You want to maintain an aggressive image so you get paid off with your monsters. You don't want to be double barrelled off your hand. And if he pushes you have good odds, it's fun to tilt people when you hit, and gamb00ling is fun. |
A. You should always care about what you are representing. Tagfish read hands, albeit poorly.
B. Who cares if he improves on the turn. In fact, we'd probably like that, since we have a hand with a lot of implied odds.
C. Sure we want to maintain an aggressive image, but on this flop texture its incredibly difficult to maintain a balanced and wide raising range. While often times its correct to haphazardly blast money at the pot in hopes of getting a fold, imo this time its not.
D. We have a huge hand, unless he double barrel shoves for like 4x the pot, we aren't getting bet off this on the turn.
E. If he pushes we have good odds, but we aren't ecstatic about it, and we didn't induce a mistake. All we did was take a hand with awesome implied odds and turn it into a coinflip for stacks.
