Default Re: Raise Size

I'm not sure I understand why you want to look strong here. Here's my take on what hands are most likely to raise here given they called a raise preflop: QJ, QT, 66, 99, 9T. Of course there are also 88, 77, 78 but against this overall range you have more than decent equity:

Board: 8d Qc 7s

Equity
63.51% ( KsKc )
36.49% ( QJ QT 66-99 9T 78 )

And that's assuming what's probably a really tight raising range. I'd imagine it's probably wider than this. It's a pretty dry flop, so villain might very well be making a play.

And if shoving looks weak, you can probably expect top pair to call you down.

If you raise to 550, do you fold to a shove? This question confused me - please tell me if there's something I'm missing.
