Does anyone every take passive lines like this vs. regs? I've been experimenting with it, but still am not sure if I like it, and whether it'd be better to just to bet, bet and c/c.

You can take passive lines like this if you are playing a barrel monkey who auto 3 barrels when checked to

4 11.50 shove IMO.

As played I still b/f bigger on the river. Now I will always wonder whether he turned missed FD into a bluff and spazzcall. (he prob didn't, good fold)

I continue to get murdered today. Did i make a good fold here? Villain is 23/16 and tends toward passivity postflop.

looking back at it i feel like the river bet is too small, and i'm afraid I tempted him to shove with AK...

Don't be rude. You have posted a lot of hands here so obv I have some idea that you like to barrel a lot.

Edit: I don't remember any flaming going on here before Wizard showed up and now there is flaming going on even when Wizard is not involved. Just one person is enough to change the culture of a forum. Mods just ban him before this place becomes unbearable and we have to migrate to the brew (You won't like all of us posting there would you?)

Even if i was a barreling monkey, check calling 3 streets with 2nd pair mid kicker is terrible. I am also going to stop posting strategy posts in the micro limit forum so i wont tell you why this is bad and i hope you can figure it out by yourself.

That wasn't his point, but never mind, it was a light hearted joke which you seem to have taken personally? :/

no need for mod intervention, its not like the guy is really doing anything more than stirring the pot. woo will either find his niche and stay, or he'll fade away like all of the true flamers/trolls
