Reraise pre-flop?

Carmine · #2 01-02-2005, 06:38 PM

Don't put too much weight on my responses.

#1- Call down or fold. MP1 may be playing a flush draw poorly, raiseing to drive out sb and get HU or just testing you.

#2- Bet out on flop hoping BB raises and drives everyone out. You are in protect mode. No place to C/R which would be a better option if you had position to do so.

#3- Bad flop raise. Definatly fold turn. Probably fold flop.

#4- Looks good

#5- Don't bet the turn. Especially after MP3 raises the flop

Thanks for the advice.

Any others care to comment?

hand 1 looks good

hand 2 i check and call the turn, you still have a draw and if bb bets out again people are more likely to call a bet from the same player. IMO once someone else bets it makes people think "i'm beat in more than one spot". Also the flop better is to your left meaning you can trap for more bets on the river if you hit. I'd like to point out that i'm not great at playing second pair vs a large field for pair value so someone might have a little better advice here.

hand 3 i'm not raising this flop.

hand 4 i might check raise the turn, laa's tend to bet when checked to and laa may think that you were betting overs and have given up on the hand. As for the way you've played it, it look perfect.

hand 5 i check/raise the flop and lead the turn. I think you have an easy river fold.
