[What follows is about micro NL Hold em.]From what I've gathered in these forums, pocket pairs pretty much always means a preflop raise if you're the first one to talk in full ring games regardless of position. The motives are pretty much "Well, if you don't hit, you can always represent that high card that usually flops, or if no high card flops, you just represent a higher pair than the board." All in the line of an aggressive players mindset.Assuming everyone knows and has adapted this philosophy, would it, in your mind, still be profitable?For the sake of discussion, I'm willing to categor

Yeah, I guess that IS what I should do. The reasons I didn't is that I put him on an overpair, and I thought Villain was the type of player who just wouldn't let go of those easily, putting me on one as well. (Remember, this is micro-limit, and where I play, I've seen this type of play lots of times...)Anyway, as I said, Villain called the riverbet and showed pocket tens, which surprised me big time.As previous posters have pointed out, the turn is the card the sucked the juice out of me, and I should've laid the hand down suspecting Villain either had a flush or a hand that was in too good sh

Yes, everyone did fold to me preflop, the person between me and Villain also did, and after Villains preflopraise everyone folded to me. I don't usually raise pf with 77 in an early position, since it's kind'a common, in my opinion, to get outplayed by overcards on the flop. If I don't hit my set or open ended straightdraw or something, I'm kind'a bust if more than one player calls me.

Thanks for the welcome, here's a clarification (I hope) :When I wrote :Hero pos 5 (counting the dealerbutton as pos 1.)Villain pos 7 I meant that Hero was sitting in position 3 after the BB, and when I wrote :Hero posts blind 2 SEKI meant that I was just limping, calling the BB. Bad choice of words, looking at it in retrospect ...I had been playing quite a few hands before this one, which lead me to the view of the Villain I described in my original post.

Hello folks, n00b presenting himself. First of all, I don't have the situation I'm about to describe converted to a userfriendly format, so if that is a demand for you to answer my question, stop reading right here, sorry I took your time.The reason I don't have the hand converted in the nifty way most other posters have, is that the site I play at isn't supported in the converter tool. (Svenska Spel, a swedish site I mostly hang out at, since I'm a swede, and since there's usually relatively easy money waiting for me there.)Anyway, the currency here is SEK, a $ is approximatly 6.5 SEK when
