Default Re: TO EVERYONE WHO SAID RAISE....

Hmmm, I think a raise and a call here is pretty close. At these levels the free card play works often enough. Even Ed somewhat disagreed with Clarkmeister's first point about the free card play.

Had the flop been 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], I'd agree that it's close. But the flop contains 2-broadways and you'll be 3-bet here often enough by the lead-flop better, destroying your equity. Especially if the inbetween player folds. You are also ignoring the times you make your draw on a later street and get to charge an extra big bet.

It's a clear call. Ed would agree.

Go Pats!
