Postponing a raise to the turn
In this hand I tried to apply the concept described in the chapter "2 Overpair Hands" of SSHE.
In short they recommend to postpone raising with the best hand to the turn when three criteria are met: 1. raising is unlikely to induce a fold 2. the equity edge is small 3. the equity will change dramatically on the turn If the equity changes the wrong way the raising will be cancelled, of course. This is illustrated with the two examples 9c 7c 3s (board) and the holdings Ah Ac and Th Td I find the concept quite simple. It is difficult to recognize the situation to apply it, though. I finally came to the conclusion that top pair top kicker could sometimes be treated like this. Was I right in trying it here? Reads: CO is a weird player who often raises and bets with nothing at all. SB seemed solid pre flop and passive so far.
