I might throw in a raise somewhere in there just for kicks.

Seriously though, if you're not raising your not getting value, and you have no idea where you are in the hand. Start out by raising pf, that makes the whole hand easier to play.

Try reinstalling PokerStars, it seems your raise button didn't get installed properly.

I'd raise preflop in hand 1 but I like the call in hand 2.

Bullitos · #6 02-05-2007, 07:00 AM

hehe, I would just raise preflop and raise the flop for value.
