Ok, so if you raise what hands are you trying to get to fold?
I only consider this on the river. Flop and turn is more about maximizing the profitability of my bluffing range by raising strong draws often(or 100%) and weak draws rarely(or never). The realizable equity of my bluffing range is maximized(think about the profitability of a bluffing range that was purely polarized to the very worst hands that has two streets left to play, this would minimize the realizable equity of the bluffing range).
I also have this vague idea that future street bluffing ranges can easily be super saturated with bluffs if low equity bluffs are chosen at high frequency, which becomes a river liability; this would be an effect of bluffing the flop with the "let's get better hands to fold" philosophy.
The result of constructing my default flop check raising range like this is that I have two options as adjustment:
a) eliminate the weaker draws(call more with hands like 75 here) vs wild players.
b) add more weaker draws(raise more with hands like 75 here) vs tight players.
Vs tags I just try to maintain baseline strategy(what would Jon Locke do?)
That's why I'd call often here with 75, but I do raise it sometimes.
