Default Re: leakcheck hand

Hey Damaniac,

I think that you are thinking about the right things... but:

1. There is a chance we have the best hand since the flop has some straight draws.
2. We can win this hand by folding our opponent.
3. A free card would be nice.
4. Our equity is pretty good anyway.

I agree that "cleaning up outs" is WAY WAY overused as an excuse to raise flop in mediumish pots like this one. If you actually do the math, most of the time you'll find that you only clean an out, hit it, and win the hand about 2% of the time. That 2% DOES matter, it just is never a good enough reason on its own to raise.
