Obv the opposite of being wide pre, where you should cbet less (in theory) in order for your cbet range to not be too weak/exploitable.
A looser (that's looser....not loser) preflop raiser, like me, raises enough hands that I have plenty of opportunities to play big pots, small pots, medium pots. I check and give up plenty. I check and then raise plenty. I have a wide range and can hit flops that people dont expect. I can also toss AA in the muck without a second thought on a flop like this because I will be raising another hand very soon and will have another opportunity.
Tight preflop raisers, dont get into anywhere near as many hands where they are the aggressor. They tend to have a sense of ownership of the pot when they raise premiums hands, before the flop even comes down. They've been waiting a long time for these premiums and they dont give up easily. This leads to overplaying and a need to CBet almost every flop.
So I guess they should be cbetting a higher percentage than I should be, but what I meant to say was they have a tendency to not realize (or not be able to accept the fact) that they shouldnt be cbetting a flop like this one.
