I'd play it the same after the flop.

Q: Is a preflop raise bad? It gains a lot of folding power after the flop imo.

Depending on how the CO plays, I might have raised preflop, and I might have tried to checkraise on the river.

I raise PF plus I c/r that river.

I really don't see the river cr. I think this often checks around. Also, if I bet, the "third man" is trapped in the middle so I sometimes pick up a bet from him where he will surely fold facing two cold.

I raise here PF much of the time.

Booo river c/r. Risk of getting checked thru + facing 3rd player w/ 2 cold = bad. Bet.

Raise pf, rest looks good. Surf and bobby hit it on the head why a river c/r sucks here.

Hey Bob, welcome to HUSH. Are you playing shorthanded now?

I'm indifferent to a flop raise. All depends on whether the BB is tight or not, and we don't know. It's not a super-strong ace.

Postflop, play it identical. Going for a river checkraise is insanely bad.

i like it the whole way through. i'll raise preflop if the opponents are bad. the better tehy are the more likely i am to complete. but an open limper in the co should probably be raised preflop.

c/ring this river is a bad idea and it gets checked though way more then half the time.

you're check folding any other non A or 8 river ?
