I don't raise it preflop. I don't mind your play after that. Raising will get you in trouble i think but there is a decent chance you win so calling it down is fine. I check preflop and i'm 50/50 whether betting out or going for the check raise.

It more depends if the players think of the pot when they call your bets. by not raising, your bets carry more weight because the pot is smaller so your bets have more power.

To rethink it, I will probably often raise the hand but my aggression normally comes out more postflop. I think I might be getting influence a little by my NL play recently.

I do not think, therefore I am not.

Well, in retrospect I think the check/call check/call really sucks. This guy is has a PFA of .65, so he's generally won't bet with nothing. I think a check/fold on the turn would have been better, but I think the best line probably would have been to bet the turn and fold to a raise, and check/call the river if called.

He showed down [4d][2d].
