Is this a good idea? (assuming I'm playing heads-up and I don't have info about the villain. I may or may not be in position.)
My reasoning is that if he has a non-dominated hand (a pocket pair or 2 cards which don't match mine), I only have ~55% equity, so it's not hugely profitable to raise. However, if he has a dominated hand, and he hits the flop, he will most likely raise, then I can call his bets (and he may think I have a draw/weak ace/etc. and keep betting). Had I raised, I think he'd mostly have played passive and likely throw away the hand.
Thanks.
