i cant help but wonder if you like to raise in position with a wider range when folded to with...suited conns, gappers, premiums, any A, etc.

...and if you tend to fold a lot to an oop bet when you whiff, but not always.

does it buy you action when you connect? seems lately i've seen a lot of this.


i may have KTs, 67s, or other marginal stuff, and when i whiff, i look to fold out. but, when i hit my hand, i cant help but think "my image" (whatever the hell that is) buys bluffs into me...to see if i will fold. when i dont fold, the hand is mine, especially if i raise them back.

however, when i hit, i either call dry boards or raise back the scary ones...and win a lot of pots there, too.

i guess i could be on a run, but i cant help but think when someone notices you CAN fold...they tend to take more shots at you when they are oop.

anyone else think the same thing? or want to refute?
