Default Re: Overdoing it?

PREFLOP: I like a call here much better than a raise. The time to consider this raise is when you are against a player who folds a lot postflop and the button and the blinds are tight. You decided to isolate a calling station with ten high, with a loose player in the BB, this is not smart poker. FLOP: It is debatable between calling and raising, a reason to raise would be becuz you likely have the best hand so get more money in the pot, a reason to just call is becuz on this board there is a higher than normal chance the BB is on a draw which means waiting for a turn blank to raise charges his draw for a full price. TURN: If youre gonna fold to a reraise Then I see no point in raising, it is much better to invest 2BB and actually see if you won or not than to raise and fold. You have a pair and a gutshot draw, which is more than enough to call the turn, and on the river you have an easy call since there are still some hands you can beat and the pot odds will make the call profitable. When you raise the turn with the intention of folding to a raise youre just asking to get outplayed, by calling down no one can ever out play you off the best hand(there is a lot of value in this concept) Also, when you raise folded, you also made a pot odds mistake, given the action and your pair gutshot draw, you have an estimated 4 pure outs, getting 10.25-1, you should call since including implied odds this call should be profitable.
