Default Re: Weak Overcard Outs-Clearing

1 = easy raise, just on value.

2 = close between a call and a raise. If you think you can buy the button and get a free turn card, it's a raise, otherwise it's a call.

3 = close between a call and a fold. You don't have much of a hand and can't really expect to win unimproved even if you fold out the button. However you have at least 3 solid outs and are getting 10-1 to continue.

In general, I'm not a big fan of buying outs in a 3-handed pot. You are not going to fold out sb so you're putting in an extra bet in a smallish pot to try to buy two cards from the button. In, say, a 5-way pot, your raise has more value because it can fold out more hands and the bigger pot gives you a better multiplier on your extra bet.
