Default Re: Another interesting 2-4 hand

if you raise this hand preflop here (i never would), you have to bet this flop heads-up. you aren't going to hit a high hand very often w/ A248s, so your raise needs to buy you fold equity from stuff like 23QJ or whatever on many flops. but if your average opponent is going to peel that KQ6r flop with a raw bd nut low draw or JJ or something, this strategy is going to get expensive.

if you check, you have many options, including check/folding a flop like this, while your opponents will still make the same mistakes at a much higher EV gain for you.

stuff like A2KT, suited or not, is much better to raise in this spot, though even then i'd rather check.
