Default Re: Raising an open pair

I like the play on 5th. I don't like the call on 3rd.

On 5th your opponent has dead cards. You have a high pair that has 100% live outs. So even if you are behind it won't cost you much because you'll be drawing out a whole lot.

However, I wouldn't take a free card 100% of the time. Here you may guarantee yourself a showdown by checking 6th. If your opponent doesn't seem to improve I'd keep betting because I think sustained pressure might get him to fold a scragly 2-pair
