is it just me or is raising here absolutely awful? what could he possible have outside of 1010 QQ or KK (which he clearly does not have) that he would even contemplate calling a raise with. This "play big hands" fast theory is applicable most of the time for top sets, nut straights etc.... but for a flopped royal? are you F*ing kidding me?

You need to get money in the pot people don't fold in the rebuy period.

One of Sklanky's books (can't remember which one) presents the idea that playing a straight flush fast is a good idea as you want to extract value from other made flushes. Obviously this is player dependent.

Seeing that this is the first round of the 100r, if I think villain has any tendency to gamble it up early, I am gonna raise to 120 and hope he 3 bets. There are a lot of cards that can kill our action vs. a small flush or 2 pair and I really don't want to lose those hands. Anything else is really unlikely to pay off anyway.

straights, flushes, two pair, im not saying its a 100% raise but to assume people are only continuing with sets is laughable
