Default Re: Pre-flop raises

Thats rubbish.

You raise your premium hands for value. If 5 or 6+ ppl are regularly seeing flops some of them must be playing poor hands or marginal hands, your premium hands have an equity edge vs these hands and therefore you are missing out on tonnes of value if you dont raise.

Raising also allows you the opportunity to take control of the hand postflop and possibly fold better hands on the flop.

Value is the primary reason you will raise.
