Default Re: Total spew...or expert?

At first I was going to say: This is total spewage, but now I'm not so sure.

The turn raise has advantages and disadvantages:

(ADV) On the plus, you could be knocking out the best hand and going heads up with a draw;

(ADV) You could be knocking out a pair with Ace kicker, and so if an Ace falls, you potentially could be good.

(ADV) Now that your raise has garned such action why not cap it to "bring action" to your table, which could benefit you later on.

(ADV) If you win the pot, you could potentially cause someone to steam.

(ADV) If you win, it's a sizable pot.

(DIS) Your turn raise could be knocking out the weaker of the two opponents who would pay you off if you hit, and you MUST hit, because the bettor has you beat.

(DIS) You are putting in additional BB with the worst hand.
