Topic: Cold Cards Forum: Bonus Whores

doesn't explain why your turn and river aggression is double than normal. what are you 3 or 4-betting with at the end of the hand, and against what kind of possible draws against you?

one thing that you will learn from reading Small Stakes Hold Em is, when you have a raised pot which is already large, it becomes more important to increase your CHANCES of winning the hand rather in continuing to build the pot by slowplaying. depending on your position in the hand, the check-raise is effective because it increases the size of the pot while at the same time keeps marginal draws from staying in by forcing them to call two bets cold.

you say that "I sometimes check with the intention of raising" but your PT stats clearly indicate that you have NEVER executed a successful check-raise in any particular betting round. all you're doing right now is paying off the draws that beat you on the turn and river, but donating twice or three times as much as the average player would. play more straightforward on 3rd street, and back off to aggression once the bet limits are doubled. it's ok to call down to see the river, but stop raising once it is not certain that you have the best hand.
