View Full Version : The strength of a raise relative to street

I posted this another thread, but I thought it could do with it's own.

The idea is simply to combine the baluga theorem with the dbitel theorem, and say that a raise signals an average hand strength proportional with street number.

Strength guide
1: Preflop could be wide range of cards
2: Flop could be a draw, air, TP +
3: Turn raise = One pair no good
4: River raise is the nuts


Baluga theorem: flop call, turn raise = two pair no good
Dbitel theorem: river raise = the nuts

Too late to edit, but preflop we are naturally not talking about a 3b - just a standard raise.

Profound. /images/graemlins/grin.gif FWIW I think the graph should have a a more convex shape, especially between the flop and turn.
