Fold the first hand in a millisecond.Blind stealing is +EV.

call the flop raise."loose flop calls" in SSHE. if you fold like that too often, you'll get checkraised by 8-high, flush draws, and the like too much (although this is probably the case more live than online).seriously.i have notes on one regular on prima, and at the top of the notes, in big letters: "OFTEN FOLDS TO RAISE IF HE BETS". underneath that: "RAISE HIS BET WITH ANYTHING".it's worked a countless number of times in heads-up and three-way pots (the latter works like a charm since i like to sit on his left. if he raises pre-flop, i call, and he takes a stab on the flop, i can raise to shut out the other guy, and he will fold.)call the flop check-raise.fold the turn UI to a bet.aseem

Asseem,Calling that flop isn't loose...it's stupid. No offense, but hero has a draw to nothing. If hero had a diamond, it would be a good, loose call.
