Nothing to be sorry about. This is where my game has currently fallen into a very grey zone. This flop raise used to be a "given" for me; but I've since been reading and hearing how it's often correct NOT to make this type of raise because either a) You could already be beat, b). If not, you could easily get beat, and c). It might be better to wait for the turn to raise when you're opponent(s) are a bigger underdog.


I've been thinking myself in circles with this lately. The third player in this hand complicates things. If you continue hanging around 2+2 (I hope you do), you'll eventually see a "hand to talk about" by Mason. Many times he'll play a hand "strangely" fiddling around with this concept. Well, that's not exactly right... I'm fiddling, he's USING it. I'm kinda lost with this right now. Guess I gotta do some re-reading...
