Default Re: First hand \'read\' leads to 2nd hand extra $$

The way hand #1 played out should show exactly why it's better to raise the turn:

1. The guy behind you may well fold for one bet anyway, so "not shutting him out" is a moot point in many cases. The A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is the scariest card in the deck for many hands he could hold.

2. The SB fish could call down even when he has basically nothing.

Not raising also sucks when a river [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] totally kills your action.
