and then when he reraises you? then what? you raising his bet screams bluff more than his continuation bet. and only half the time will it truly be a continuation bet, the other half it will be a pocket pair. either way you will lose with a lesser hand against an experienced player
Bair, either your experience playing poker is completely different from mine, or you totally misunderstood my post.
I am not advocating calling a huge pre-flop raise by a tight player with garbage, and the playing back at the PFR with garbage when he fires out another enormous bet.
What I am talking about is a situation like this: a loose PFR makes a small raise. At that point, say you are in the BB with a decent hand, and you call. The flop comes down rags, and it doesn't hit you, but you still have a decent hand, and you'd like to see more cards. You check. The PFR makes a continuation bet. Check-raise his ass. In my experience, he will usually fold. If he calls, fine. You have a decent playable hand. If he goes over the top, fold.
Will this work at super high stakes hold em? Probably not. Will it give you a decent chance of winning the pot right there at the levels that I and many others play at on this forum? Yes.
As a side benefit, it has the tendency to slow down that annoying LAGgy guy at the table.
Do you disagree?
