When Should You Raise
2007-11-13 20:42:00 There are five main reasons to raise in Hold’em: • You feel you have the best chance at winning the pot. • You want your opponents to fold their drawing hands, or make a mistake by calling. • You are getting good pot odds to try a bluff or semi-bluff. • You want to try for a free card. • You want to determine the strength of your hand relative to your opponents. One goal in poker is to give your opponents opportunities to make mistakes. When your opponents are correct to call just a single bet, raising is sometimes a good strategy to decrease your opponents’ pot odds and force them to cither fold or make a mistake by calling. Bad beat hands are not nearly as disastrous as most poker players think. When an opponent draws to a hand that he shouldn’t, yet still wins, think of all the extra bets you are earning on the times when he doesn’t hit his hand.

I do not recommend the use of these “in turn” buttons unless you are going to fold. However, some of your opponents will use them, so it is important to recognize when they have used them and what it might possibly indicate about the strength of their hand. It is easy to recognize when someone has selected one of these buttons since their move will occur almost instantaneously after the player before them The chips enter the pot at practically the same time. This is very different than someone just acting quickly, since in this case they are selecting move after their opponent has acted. Let’s discuss some of the reasons why a player might raise instantaneously. The first reason someone might raise instantaneously is the obvious one. They have a strong hand and decide to raise no matter what happens before them. For example, if... More About: Poker , Online , Online Poker , Poke 1, 2 |
