Re: preflop raise?
[ QUOTE ]
just want my preflop play confirmed. this is a spot where you raise to get a big pot with such a nice starting hand right?
[/ QUOTE ]Hi Olrik - I wouldn't, but whatever. I don't think the raise is necessarily terrible. I just think pre-flop raising or not depends more on the effect you think your action will have on your opponents than on the cards you hold yourself.
Everyone is obviously going to play that very strong, very fine, starting hand. But sometimes you do better if you don't try to set the hook too soon. Jerk it and the fish may get away. Depends.
Some people will always raise, almost gleefully, with that hand. Perhaps amazingly, you only make low with that hand about half the time.
