Default Re: Lay it down? AKsuit

reraising pf is not a necessity here... not sure why people are saying it is. sure it makes decisions easier sometimes, but its not always the best way to play.

if you reraise and get hu vs a pair, you arnt making much money post flop. (sure you get low pairs to fold on QTx flops, but large % of the time you miss and get called equals this out) if you reraise and get hu vs a non pair, yes you make money by betting the flop on average. The main advantage to repopping pf vs a non pair is that you win the pot on raggedy flops, whereas you would lose them if you flat call the raise and the villian continuation bets. However, this advantage is not very large here because the pot is multiway. The villian will be more learly of continuation betting without a pair if there are 3 or 4 callers pf.

the other advantage of flat calling pf here is that you increase your average profit when you hit 1 pair. if you reraise and you hit an A or a K, you arnt getting paid off very often. However if you flat call and 1 pair, you will get money in the pot while ahead quite often. The reason for this is simple: people will call more dominated hands for 8 dollars, and will call even more dominated hands bc it is multiway.
