Re: Raising an open pair
I know all of you like raising 3rd, and I would do this every time against a weak opponent.
In this hand my opponent was a fairly good player who respects me, and if I came over the top he would know I have a big pair in the hole. With this knowledge, he will not make any subsequent mistakes because he knows when I make 2 pair (other than the river). This is why I just called here. My plan is to get a raise in on 4th or 5th, this way it becomes less obvious what I'm holding.
If this all happened in early position I would have re-raised to knock everyone out, but here there is a good chance the bring-in will fold anyways which is why I just called...
Any thoughts on this?
