Default Re: Good blind D, or awful poker?

Why would you want better single pairs to fold?

A passive player raises PF and bets out on the flop when AK comes down. We are definitely behind at least one person here, and probably more, and there's no way in hell we are going to push everyone off their better hands than us. Thus the only chance we have to win this is by drawing out, in which case we want to keep others in the hand to increase our pot odds. That's why calling is better than raising on the flop.

Right? I mean, lets just say for argument sake that we are up against AJ [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and QQ. If the turn comes a 6, I'd rather have QQ in the pot so I can take his money too.
