    To begin, let me mention that I am trying to open up my game and play hands in ways that I normally wouldn't. I am generally a very tight/aggressive player, and particularly in cash games almost never bluff. I know that this is leaving money on the table in the long run, and am trying to allow myself to grow.

    With that said, here is the hand:

    pokerstars Game #20843556481: Hold'em No Limit ($0.10/$0.25) - 2008/10/01 14:02:02 ET

    You should have continued your line and fired on the turn as well. If you're trying to fool this guy into thinking you have a medium pair, you need to make it look like you're taking him to valuetown.
