Re: Free Showdown
[ QUOTE ]
IMO, the essential element I look for when making a rare free showdown raise is when my opponent can fold a hand which would want to (at least) call my turn raise if he could see my hand. Getting a better hand to fold is a subset this property.

Very well said. Now I think we are dialing on the merits of a free showdown raise.
Note though, that again in this regard, this hand falls short. Getting A7 to fold 1 time in 20 is not enough to justify the risk. There are much better spots.
