Default Re: Keeping fishies around

raise preflop, raise the flop. If you raise preflop, you will get called by weaker hands in .5/1 for sure. And if you get it HU or steal the blinds, that's fine as well. I think you get maximum value by raising the flop rather than waiting till the turn on this board (waiting till the river is absolutely horrible). You might get 3bet by top pair, 2 pair, or a smaller flush allowing you to cap. Also everyone will probably will call one more on the flop but might not call a turn raise. Also, it could get checked to you on the turn, or someone to your right could bet, preventing you from "trapping" the field for 2 as you could have on the flop. Also, if a 4th club comes people will start dumping weaker hands that they would have called a flop raise with.
