-I am being called by a calling station who likes to see the turn because it's cheap, but often folds on the turn.
-There is only one person calling and an obvious draw on board, like 2 low flush cards.
Someone who check raises the preflop raiser almost always has something like top pair or an overpair, and is trying to push out overcards. You'll get called down too often to try to bluff against most opponents (even though they think you have a big pair, their top pair or overpair just looks too damn good to let go).
When you should just call depends on whether or not you think hitting top pair will be good, and the pot odds you are getting. You need around 7:1 or better. Raising for the free card may be a good option if you are in position.
AK is a good hand, but if it misses, you're left with A high and only two cards to come. This is a marginal situation, and it's hard to shoot your way out of marginal situations in low limit hold 'em.Statistics: Posted by Nortonesque — Tue Feb 08, 2005 4:26 am
