Re: 10/20 Hand
[ QUOTE ]
So no one here is considering a raise to represent trips?

I didnt quite say that. I said I think you can represent trips easier if you just call 4th. My thinking being that you have to be a little wild to raise with just a pr of 7s in his eyes, so when you just call and then pair your door on 5th, he would be more likely to fear trips. I think this would imply a raise. Also, if you raise open jacks, he should also consider the fact that you have jacks up beat....problem with the raise is that if he has jacks up he may very well go into call down mode and you will have to show down the best hand. OTOH you may be able to buy a free card if you dont improve.
A lot of what you do depends on how the opponent has been playing and what your image is at the table. If you think there is a good chance he will lay down his hand, well then go for the raise as that maximizes your chance of winning the hand. If you think he won't, then fold or try to draw out on him and put him on tilt [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
