Didnt raise PF since no one would fold there. Flop, wanted to see the action. Early bet and I would assume a Q and probably fold, late bet I would checkraise as I wanted to stay in the hand. Had to follow up the turn even though it was horrible

Methinks this is precisely the reason to raise preflop.

Yes. Against MP open limpers, you've got a good chance of having the best hand PF. For the love of all that is good raise this PF!

What about the flop checkraise? Too aggro?

I guess it worked for you. But I am a bettor. It would be a bad if this were checked through, which is a possibilty given the lack of PF aggression. Do you want to give a gutshot a free card?

Womble · #7 03-31-2005, 10:28 AM

I was really confused here. I didnt have top pair and the board is 2 flush so I wanted a safe card on the turn. If it got checked through, so be it. Could bet the turn on a safe card or fold on a scary card.

However, since I was bet into i was raising or folding and I thought he may be position betting so I raised to protect my hand
