Raising On The Poker Flop Part5

D. Put $2 from each stack in the pot to represent everyone's call before the flop. The flop has two flush cards and when it's your turn to call the bet, you raise and everyone calls. Put $8 in the pot from each stack. The turn card does not help you but everyone calls. Put $8 more in the pot from each stack. The river is 2* and you now have the nut flush. Everyone checks and calls when you bet. You win the pot and enter the number of chips you have.

Notice that you have more money in your stack with each succeeding exercise and that you save the most money when you raise and miss. And of course, you make the most money when you raise and make it.

As you can see, raising and missing is actually cheaper for you than just calling and missing. It's no big surprise that you make more money when you raise on the draw and make it. The surprise is that you save more money when you raise and miss. Try it, you'll like it.

Players will raise on the flop for a variety of reasons but they will rarely raise when they flop a monster hand in a pot they really expect to win. Most typical low limit players will wait for the turn, when the bets double, to raise or reraise. (This is not true of high limit players.) They don't want to give away their hands on the flop for only one extra small bet. This is especially true when a pre-flop raiser just calls when an Ace or King comes on the flop, but raises on the turn. This play strongly suggests that he has a set of Aces or Kings and slowplayed it on the flop.

For this reason, a player who does raise on the flop is less likely to end up with a full house. When he does raise on the flop, he usually will not have the two pair or trips that it takes to improve to a full house. An exception would be if the raiser was in the blind, in which case you'd better be prepared for any type of hand on the river.
If there are many callers on the flop and you have a straight draw, you should usually not raise if there is a two-flush on the flop. Any player who flopped a four-flush is not going to fold anyway because he knows he'll make the flush one time in three. You don't lose that much by just calling or even folding with a straight draw.

In summary, the flop is when most players decide to either muck their hands or play to the river. A raise from you will help get out the undecided players and further reduce the number of players who see the turn to draw out on you. An extra $4 bet now could, and often, will win you the pot at the end.

Raising On The Poker Flop Part4

2nd Scenario: The turn card is a flush card. You now have a ¥ flush and the nuts at this point. You bet and get called on both the turn and the river. You win the hand and your raise on the flop got $4 more from four other players that would not have been in the pot if you had not raised. In other words, you got in an extra bet with a winning hand.
Whether you win the hand or not, your raise on the flop saves you money if you miss your hand, and it makes you more money when you win the hand. It's a win-win situation. If you have trouble imagining this, try this simple exercise. Give yourself A4» J4» and put K4> 84» 4v up as the flop.

Give yourself and four imaginary opponents thirty chips each for each of the following examples – A, B, C and D. You're going to perform four exercises and write down on a piece of paper how many chips you are left with at the end of each one.

A. Put $2 from each stack into the pot to represent everyone's call before the flop. You get the same flop as above and when it's your turn to call, you raise and everyone else calls. Now put $8 from each stack in the pot to represent this bet and raise with everyone calling. The turn card is not a flush card but you call the $8 bet along with everyone else. Put $8 in the pot from each player's stack. The river card is not a flush card and you have to fold. Award the pot to a player and record how many chips you have.

B. Put two chips in the pot from each of the five stacks of chips. This represents everyone's call before the flop. Now you get the above flop and everyone calls $4. Put $4 from each stack into the pot. The turn card is not a 4» but there is a bet and eveyone calls. Put $8 from each stack into the pot. The river card is not a * and you have to fold. Award the pot to any of the imaginary players you choose. Now, count the remainder of your chips and write that number on the piece of paper in front of you.

C. Put $2 from each stack into the pot to represent everyone's call before the flop. You get two spades on the flop and when there's a bet, you just call. Put $4 from each stack into the pot. The turn card doesn't help but you call on the turn anyway. Put $8 in the pot from each stack. The river is 2 A and when it's checked around, you bet and everyone calls. You win the hand and enter the number of chips you now have on your paper.
