sb is unknown, bb is 50/10/.9 245 hands.
is the preflop raise ok or is this one of the times when calling makes sense since i cant take down the pot? raising allows me to chop up the sb's money with the bb a good percentage of the time and im inflating the pot in position. is there a reason why calling would be better here?
preflop is a common situation, but id really like to know how postflop looks.
