Hey,
Having been inspired by w34z3l's latest vid I though I'd get a bit aggro :f_p:
Villain has opened 3/7 SBs so far (38%). I know it's a small sample but he looks pretty tight/reggy. Wasn't sure whether flatting his raise is a good idea? It's either a call or a raise I think. I flop a GS and one overcard. Villain has a CBet of 71% and this board does not hit his range that well, so I thought a bluff raise/fold would be profitable.
Is this ok or should this have not even gotten to the flop?

Hey Redrawstump,

Preflop defend is fine.

Generally speaking bluff-raising gutshots is fine. It's not necessary the best flop texture to do it on though. Think about how you'd play 55 here. Would you flat or raise?

Seeing as we flat most of our legitimate strong hands on dry textures it makes sense to play our bluffs this way and delay raising until a later street.

Good point. I guess a bit of thought from villain about my range would lead him to call me down light here. We rep. a set better by raising the turn. If villain were to call us down light and we get to show down then presumably we should make a note. Then next time we hit a strong hand on a dry board we can get paid off.
The whole BTNvsSBvsBB dynamic stuff seems to be the heart of 6max
