Dealing with a raise behind pre-flop
Since moving from .5/1 to 1/2 on Party, the two things that stand out to me are: 1. more raises preflop and 2. Not as many idiotic caps on the river.
The place I would say I feel most uncomfortable is when I have a calling hand preflop and it gets raised behind me. I really have no strategy or thought process for deciding when to fold or call. Example, early hand no reads on any players. EP limps, folded to me, I call in MP with KJs, MP2 calls, CO raises, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, EP folds. Do I call here? Why or why not? Thanks much. |

Re: Dealing with a raise behind pre-flop
If you are playing in tighter games don't limp preflop as much with marginal hands.
1 limper to you w/KJs you should raise. After that you easily have a call coming back to you. Welcome to the forum, Joe Tall |

Hey MrG:
[ QUOTE ] EP limps, folded to me, I call in MP with KJs, MP2 calls, CO raises, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, EP folds. Do I call here? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. It is basically always correct to call a raise pre-flop if you have already have put in one bet. Now if it comes back to you 3-bet or capped, I think you can consider mucking your most of your mediocre hands(depending, of course, on position, number of callers, and raising stds of the 3 bettor, etc.). In the hand you described, call the raise, and if you hit the flop with a K or J, proceed with caution. (which does not necessarily mean check call or check fold). --Rico |
