For Those Who Raise PP in Every Position (200NL 6max)

I basically raise all my pocket pairs (even 22) from any position.

However what do you do when,

You are UTG and raise 8[d] 8[c] and get two late callers. Callers are 35/10/2 types.

Flop ($25) Q[c] T[h] 2[d].

Do you lead or do you play it no set/no bet?

35/10? They are going to call your CB with anything 55, thin air to 98....

Check raise bluff / semi bluff.... on the flop or dump the hand completely... even then you only want to CR if the middle person bets and the other folds.

Unless your image is mega tight I see little value in the CB here against loose players.

I do raise 88 UTG, and I check fold here. One CB is not taking this down very often. You'll need to fire at least a 2nd bullet here, and even then you might not take it down, and I really don't want to risk $70-$80 trying to win $45 in this spot. (If my math is right)

Check/fold doesn't seem too bad given the board and likelyhood of it hitting them, but I bet anyway as it's probably only slightly -EV if at all and I don't like to give off the image that you can call one of my raises preflop and take the pot away easily. I'll usually only not CB when either there are 3+ opponents on a scary board that looks like it missed me/hit them, or if i'm going for a check-raise either with a hand or as a bluff.

Hey for all of you guys who always (or mostly CB), what is your aggression factor on the flop? Mine is insanely high and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Also if you guys raise with [AcQh] in the CO and button calls, are you CB on [7d]

[8d][Tc] flops? (mainly asking you Roy as you mentioned your image and stuff, but others please chime in)

If I raise and get one caller, my standard line is to CB every single flop. If there's a history of the villian floating me a lot or betting when I check regardless, I might check-raise but that's pretty rare at 1/2. Also, most of the time I raise in the CO, i'll have a hand closer to 79, T8, [Td]

, 99, etc - hands that connect pretty well with it.

My PT isn't working atm so I can't tell you what my AF is on the flop. If I can get it working i'll post it up.

Ok some good responses, well my flop aggression is 22 but I'm taking it down a rediculous amount of the time. I do think I need to slow down off those flops I posted earlier when I don't connect though.
