Operation Check Raise needs your support

[Jay36489]

I sometimes use it when there is a predictable maniac behind me and I want the pot right there. If you bet out in that situation you are likely to get called by loose players because the bet isnt that big. A check raise shows great strength and makes the next card too expensive for them to call. I find beginners dont think of betting in terms of what is in the pot, only in terms of what $X means to them. Like, "I called cause it was only $5". When the check raise comes back to them for $15, while showing significant strength, they fold.

Perfect spot:

you have 40-60 BB's

you are in blind with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

non-rock Player in MP makes it 4xBB, two coldcallers to you, you call.

flop (16BB):

9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I contend that in most cases checkraise all-in is by far the best line holding this hand.

i very very rarely check-raise in no limit. often it just shuts the bettor down and all you get is the bet he put in. if i have a big hand, i just lead out in the hope that someone also has something and will give me action. with a big hadn i'd rather play a big pot. of course there are times when i will do it, but it's much less than i'll do it in a limit game.

This about sums it up for me.
