You should not assume that villain is stacking off with worse Jacks UNLESS you have a lot of history and you know that your villain does not respect your raises anymore (eg. you have been raising a lot of flops vs him and bluffing a ton etc.) and then you can stack him off with TPTPK here. With just 43 hands you don't really have any history.

But as played otr it is x/f.

Edit: also raise to atleast 3x always.

We are charging the SD and FD there.

But not worse Jx because those might not call very often.

We should not do it always obviously.

Obviously not..

I am glad that you agree.

I think that we can be more aggressive OOP and more passive when IP...

Sounds reasonable.

It not only sounds, It is reasonable.

I basically meant just that.

I agree then.

Of course I agree. As you said earlier, I should just listen to you and I will get better You are super awesome.

Thank you. Appreciated.

There is no reason to build a big pot with a middling hand unless you can get away from it if necessary. This is easier said than done, and a more passive line may be appropriate. As a matter of principle, I like to be in the drivers seat when turning aggressive with marginal hands. Others obviously disagree here, but for me, position rules more than anything else in this game.

I totally agree with this.
