What are you trying to accomplish? Free card? nice job. If not? Then, well, I don't get it.

I do this 23.472% of the time against an unknown, which I think is about right. Against a LP, I believe it makes sense to do it somewhat more.

Yeah, basic free card play. HUSHers are correctly ingrained not to take free cards HU. I haven't really been using a free card play very often anymore. I've been building it back into my repetroire and was wondering if others use it/if it's a profitable move given my outs and the small pot size.

I have done the math and I think it's okay. Posted for some confirmation.

I think it's ok.

Assuming your outs are clean, you're a bit less than a 3:1 underdog to hit your hand on the river. You're getting 4:1 on your money by raising the flop.

Edit: I don't really know anymore. Getting 3-bet/lead into on the turn really kills this play.

Considering the large number of donkbets being made lately, your play is becoming more and more standard as both a value raise and a free card play.

If it may be a valueraise, do you call a donk on a blank river card?

[setjes]

I sometimes take this line against passives. I fold to a riverbet

[kiddo]

Yep, I think its ok to do it for freecard.

What do u think he is betting on this flop that needs a freecard for u?

Wouldnt you prefer to have A-high, so u can call a river(bluff?)bet. Or would u bet turn ater raising flop if u had a good hand like AT?

Yeah the whole point of this line is to fold to a river bet.
