Default Re: Free Card or Fire Away?

[ QUOTE ]
I discussed my reasons already somewhere in here...but seriously, why not raise?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hi Pedro i don't like the flop raise.

1) you open yourself up to a 3-bet
2) you don't have an equity edge
3) you don't have any overcards
4) against monkeys getting your free card is 50/50
5) you miss the opportunity to raise the turn if you do hit your gutshot
6) you very well may have recieved a free turn card without raising

Anyway those are my thoughts i don't think the raise is terrible but for the reasons given i would prefer to call. I know you want to see a river card against these monkeys i would also but i think your hand is just a little to weak and the pot a little to small to be raising here.

As played i would bet the turn like 100% of the time.
