LO8 1/2 - Was I wrong in pumping this Pot?

Webster · #1 09-26-2005, 07:23 AM

My question is about my reraise on the turn - I figure I have a split and a good chance for scooping. Since EVERYBODY is in already lets pump the pot. In retrospect I figure I was going to ge only PART of the Low if I don't hit.

Good? Bad??

Raise pre-flop, jam flop, jam turn, check river.

Not to argue but I'm not sure I want to raise preflop with a hand that basically a 2 card hand that can be counterfited real easely for the Low. Do I????

Raise preflop, jam flop and turn, call river.

If the better was to my immediate right, I would only call on both flop and river. With your hand, try to get as much money in as possible.

Explain why I should raise pre-flop. The reason for raising is to
1. get people OUT of the hand
2. get people already in the hand to put more money in it.

Is it because the hand is not that good so I raise to get people OUT of it?

Explain why I should raise. If it is a hand that I think I can scoop the pot if I hit why would I raise to get people not to play the hand.

Your opponents are not going to fold just because you raised. They're simply going to call two bets cold with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] instead of one. Your hand is good. Build the pot.
