i should've bet the flop, true, but raising pf would've been a mistake.
Raising PF would be the play against a normal villain in a normal game.
The logic behind this is that against a normal foe, you raise, c-bet any flop and hope to take down the pot, having some kind of a hand to fall back on, or giving up, if you get action.
This kind of villain will go to showdown 100% of the time, so c-bets will not work, only valuebets will.
By keeping the pot small PF you forsake a tiny bit of value but can play perfectly postflop while making his errors bigger.
He will call down your valuebets 100% of the time, but he will be making bigger mistakes on a small pot even when he is drawing live because of poor pot odds.
Furthermore, when you whiff the flop, you have easy decisions oop. You check. If he bets, you fold, since such a passive station wont bet without a pair, and you wont have the odds to draw.
Most of the time, he will make the mistake of giving you a free card when he could steal.
If you raise PF, and whiff, you wont know where u stand or what to do. Do i c-bet? he will call with anything... But i may have the best hand... But what if i don't? Do i check? But i may be giving him a free card to spike a pair... And the pot is bigger, so tougher to let go of.
