Default Re: Limped pot 100-200

This is definetely a 'mix it up hand'. Sometimes you need to bet and sometimes check-raise.

Though based on:
The Limper will bet 90% to 100% of the time here.

I would BET more often than not. (If it was heads up the exact opposite would be true)

Why?
1) SB will also know that limper will bet with nothing so he may call (and then call your raise). "Sometimes you don't want to trap players."
2) Now on the turn there are so many scare cards the rest of the hand will be tough to play with 2 other players in the pot.
3) Plus if you check raise now and the turn is a low blank the pot will now be big enough for players to draw at you and you will need to dodge another bullet.
4) I like to bet. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I do not three bet here vs a limper raise (you really are not ahead of many hands even KQ is beating you). I call and if the turn is a blank I bet.
