Hello everyone,
I was wondering what people use as defense against the raise for a free card. Lately if I'm raised by the button on a 2 flush board I'll call the bet see what the turn card is and if it isn't 3rd of suit, I've been betting into the raiser. They usually slow down and just call trying to get to the river as cheaply as possible. On a straight draw type board it seems a little more difficult to make this play. I keep reading the raise wrong and keep getting caught by 2 pair.
Is there any other effective solution to the free card raise? Is reraising the flop of any worth?
Thanks as always,
Allan
