Anyone not think this is a standard raise?
From a thread in mid stakes:
link Limit doesn't matter as the game description is more than enough. [ QUOTE ] Good game with lots of loose players and a couple tough spots. Villian is apparently a regular TAG named Hank for those of you who may know him. A couple sarcastic comments when he sat down 15 minutes ago make me think he is a winning player. 4 limpers. I raise Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the cutoff. BB (villian) and limpers call. [/ QUOTE ] b |

Re: Anyone not think this is a standard raise?
When I'm in the CO with QJs in an unraised pot I raise close to 100% of the time. I'm curious to see who took issue with this.

Re: Anyone not think this is a standard raise?
preflop call/raise is of little significance...

The poll isn't working because you told it not to take votes until noon today. And you bitchslapped diana ross fan over there, I honestly can't believe that it's even a debate.

I raise this everytime too in the CO. A few of the limpers might have already made a mistake by getting in the pot, and a raise will punish them further.

Re: Not sure why the stupid poll isn\'t working. n/m
why would you raise here with this; wouldn't you want to build the pot for the flush? Surely, QJ won't be overcards. I don't know tho, still trying to learn.
What I mean is you don't want to run anyone out. |

Re: Not sure why the stupid poll isn\'t working. n/m
You raise for a number of reasons. First, we likely have an immediate equity edge -- that is, with 6 people in the pot, we have more than 17% chance of winning it. Second, we try to "buy the button", as they say. If the button folds, we are last to act on all streets, which is a positional advantage. Third, we might be checked to on the flop because of our raise, giving us the option of taking a free card. Finally, people will be tied to the pot in case we hit a good hand.
