uNL concept of the week? <font color="blue"> uNL Concept of the week who?</font> uNL Concept of the week: The next generation, Check-raising. My basic thoughts about check-raising: 1. You must be OOP (duh). 2. You should not try a check-raise unless the opponent has control of the betting. 3. You should not check-raise a passive opponent. 4. You should rarely check-raise a loose opponent on a bluff. 5. You should rarely check-raise a tight opponent for value. 6. You should rarely check-raise the river unless your opponent is ridiculously straightforward. 7. In multiway pots you should check-raise for value most often when the likely bettor is on your direct left. 8. You should almost never try to check-raise more than once in a single hand. 9. You can use a check-raise to reduce the frequency with which opponents c-bet, which in turn makes them easier to play against OOP. 10. Check-raising much more than 2% of the time is playing too tricky-trappy; check-raising much less than 1% of the time is playing too straightforward. In short, a check-raise is basically "Slowplay, Jr." and should be used in roughly the same situations and at roughly the same times as a slowplay. Authored by Pokey, Published by EMc publishing.
