Default Re: 99 $15/$30 online... bad fold?

Actually a flop raise is not the optimal situation what so ever.

You want to protect your vulnerable hand and raise the turn, if you can get any of them to fold a 6 outer more power to you. Raising the flop will only tie them into the pot. The 7 is indeed a scare card, but who cares, would be much worse if that J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] catches.

But what makes you think you will be able to eliminate anybody on the turn? The small blind is doing the betting and you are last to act. Nobody in between him and the sb raised the flop, so I doubt its gonna get checked to one of the limpers on the turn unless they improve. Just seems unlikely he will be able to shut anybody out on the turn. I dont see how he can protect his hand anywhere, so I would just stick a bunch of money in on the flop since I am probably ahead.
