$33 - blind v blind 2nd hand

[Raiser]

Hey schwza.

One of the main reasons I don't like raising the flop is...

say you raise to 200ish and villain pushes. Now you are looking at ~1050 pot and have to call ~450 more. Pretty good odds and a pretty decent hand. That's a tough decision for me and one that I think you can make a mistake on pretty easily, and in this case the mistake would be very costly.

Calling the flop allows you to gather information cheaper. Then you can fold the turn to a "normal" bet and not make a huge mistake like raising the flop can lead to.

Does that make any sense?
