Default Re: Professional No-Limit Hold \'em Volume 1 Review Thread

just because hes called your preflop raise and screwed himself doesnt mean u have to screw yourself when u know your beaten and dont have odds to outdraw.

lets take that aa hand for example/ lets play it out a few ways

u make a standard raise to 8 bucks and get a caller, flop j73 rainbow. now if u get heat u have to play poker.

u make a big raise like the book suggests to 20. u likely get nothing but folds and u win the blinds.

u limp hoping to reraise. its unlikely your reraise gets called more than 1 in 15, and it might just get limped around. either way ur chance of ever winning a nice pot is tiny.

out of these 3 options im choosing 1 every time and just playing poker when i face heat, as im going to make much more money this way rather than trying to create an spr that means i dont ever have to do anything but mash the bet button post flop
