Sometimes You Have to Take a Stand

Absolutely agreed on the risk of a raise, but the problem here is not a bluff raise, but a value raise.

Catch my drift?

Sure, but change the river to a 9. You bet, he raises, you muck. That sucks.

Picture a game of two players, both driving a car. Both have to drive like crazy towards eachother. The one that bails out first loses.

Do you want to play this game against a maniac?

Please wait till you have a big truck next time. Then crush him.

Ah, you missed my drift. I can't muck my Q high here to a river raise. If I'm betting, I already know that I'm calling a raise from him here. I actually remember thinking that during the hand. I would not have laid this down in this instance.

ps - The problem with this hand is that I was so sure I had the best hand. That's why I failed to check/call the turn. I was betting for value (still not the right play). Had a guy call me with 9 high today.

I want him to wonder if I'm playing that game with him or if I have a real hand.

If he knows it's a truck, then he might stop driving his puny little cars straight at me.
