Why would you think raising small is a good idea deep oop? I know it's just cos your lazy, but it doesn't seem a great idea to m e ESP against an aggro villain Posted by grantorino
Yeah, it's a fair point that I can't argue with, and when I see it written, laziness is a really bad excuse for not doing a proper raise. However, after this thread started, I've since been told how to quickly make it 3x total without typing it manually so won't be doing that anymore.
RE: the hand, tbh when I got to the river I was just completely undecided about what to do, in the 10 seconds I was just no closer to deciding on the best route and as Doh said probably went with the worst option. I didn't think £6 would really be getting called any more than a ship because he knows it's ridic valuey and I'm never betting £6 as a bluff. Tempted to check and let him bluff off, but also worried that he checks behind hands I can get value from.

Sounds like you have confused yourself, very clear v/b - greater chance £6 gets called than a shove gets called by a worse hand

I may be wrong but I suspect there's a bit of a dynamic between you and DOHHHHHHH... call me crazy.
Anyway, you can't expect DOHHHHHHH to call a shove on the river with many weaker hands than yours: As you've said, he likes to win every pot but he knows that the only way to win by calling is with the best hand. Can he really do that with just an Ace? Does he ever play an Ax hand like this? Does he spite-call you much?
I might bet a bit more than £6 but the general idea of a smallish bet is fine, in my opinion.
