Poker – Make It Two Bets With No Callers
You have 4-4 and the two people have folded in front of you. According to both theories you make it two bets to go, so that you have a chance to win the blinds before the flop. No need, then, to discuss this case further.
Making It Two Bets with Callers
You have 2-2, and two people have "limped in" (simply called the bet before the flop). My theory says you should raise here. The mainstream theory—"call to build a pot"—can go either way here, but it leans more toward just calling, since two other players have already called ahead of you. The "call" theory is thinking: let's get by for one bet before the flop; then we can fold if we don't flop a set. Not bad thinking, but why not put in one raise and represent something strong with a bet after the flop? For one more bet before the flop and one more after the flop, you may win the whole pot on the flop. And raising does accord nicely with the "building a pot" part of the "calling" theory.
