Re: Question- when do you lead into a raiser?
It depends on relative position and whether the player typically makes a c-bet or if he checks. If he is going to check, then I want to make sure that I bet. If I am in good relative position, there are more players in the pot, and he will make a c-bet, I will check and let him hang himself ( and maybe a caller in a multi way pot), then I base my raise on the texture of the board. If you lead out, you may lose this money.
The times I will lead out are when I have a mediocre hand to see where I am at. This will work unless the PF raiser will raise on a bluff too often. If most of the times he play he raises only when he has a hand, folds when he misses or calls his mediocre or draws, then it is good to bet out.
