Re: Bad Raise with QQ?
[ QUOTE ]
Perhaps I should clarify: I'm fully aware that betting on the flop and turn is correct, as good odds are way better than infinite odds. It's the PF decision that I'm concerned about. I fear that I bloated the pot with the PF raise, and allowed my opponents to make profitable draws. If I hadn't raised, I maybe could have protected on the flop.
And by "later street", I meant the flop, the flop being later than PF. Not clear.

Oh, ok. You must raise preflop because you're giving up *too much* by not raising. QQ will win way, way, way more than its fair share, so you exploit that power by raising preflop, forcing everyone to put more money in the pot when they are longshots to win.
Again, review that very first section of SSH. It's easy to take this stuff for granted, but at some level you have to understand all of it. Thus, this is a good thread to have started. Keep asking questions if i'm not telling you what you want to know; this is a great exercise for me (and other people).
