Default Re: Laying down hands

First of all, I worry that you might be playing in a game that is over your head. Can you afford to gamble for the stakes you are playing?

Second, you must have some kind of feel for what your opponent's are holding. Are you just playing weak-tight? Have you tried to put your opponents on a range of hands? If so, is the reraise consistent with your evaluation? Do you think there is still a good liklihood you are ahead and your opponent is either bluffing/stupid/misreading you?

Third, your opponents don't play hands the way you would. They have their own motivations for making raises/reraises. You can't assume a reraise means the nuts against everybody you play just because you might do that yourself. You've got to be willing to stay in there unless you've become convinced you're beat.

... unless this is Omaha. Then fold. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
