I thought it was a value bet.

I raise the flop here every time.

While I'm sure that is profitable, I think you will find that waiting in big pots with vulnerable hands until the turn (assuming a good card falls) to raise is more profitable.

I think this pot is far too big to not raise the flop.

That's the reason why you don't raise it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The only draws that fold are the backdoor ones... but if that is your intention (or your opponets will fold their live draws - but players generally call too light, not fold too much) then raising is fine.

With this board I prefer a flop raise to waiting. There just aren't enough blanks to our hand that we'd be waiting for. Pull the trigger while you're in a good position to do so.

What you said doesn't make sense. If the turn in general is going to be that bad then we should be thinking about folding as opposed to raising. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Diamond draws are staying in no matter what. They are not going to fold to a turn raise either, nor should they getting close to 7:1. Raising the flop may get some overs to fold and that is a pretty good thing in this hand.

Waiting to raise a safe turn is fine too, just realize that more than 1/2 the deck is not going to be "safe".
