Default Re: Textbook Major Kong type loose-passive table hand

If the initial raise is correct, 3-betting is more correct. The pot is bigger and more players are involved, with nearly the same implied odds if I hit my draw (decreased by the fact that the raiser may have a quality hand, as he did).

But one of the reasons you raise the first time is to buy the button and potentially get a free turn card and increase your chances of spiking a set. I suppose there is some value in pumping the pot with 8 players since you will spike a set one time in 7.5 but its a very thin value raise at best.
