The fish call to increase the sharks

In limit, and even no-limit games you will often experienced that several players calling for a raise ... Sometimes you lose your hand if you go into such a pot. 

In limit, and even no-limit games you will often experiences that call for a raise several players ... Sometimes you will lose your hand if you go into such a pot. Do this, therefore, not a habit, since:

Callen shows weakness
The raiser usually holds the better hand
Do you have a good hand, it should be increased up to you. If you want to just call again and see the cards, you will have to see through easily. Of course there are exceptions to this rule: 
If you hold a Jack (Jacks) in hand and there were already two pre-flop raises, increase should only yourself if you want to bet on your next card, and more than a few people in the pot.



Callen shows weakness

Every good player knows this: In no-limit is a fish no one who says, "Give me the best thing you have." All hands to go along easily, you can put them in difficult situations. As a rule of thumb, the Journal is not good enough to increase, it is also not good to play.

Another danger during Callen is that most good players you throw with your bets in the pot. At best, therefore, is to win as early as pre-flop. If you raise pre-flop you show strength and most players will fold if they have missed the flop.


The increase has the blade in his hand

If you raise a hand, you show dominance by concealing your true intentions of your opponents. If you fit the flop, which means but still does not mean that you are a weak player. This applies to any poker game variation, but in particular for No-Limit Holdem. In limit games it is difficult to throw people out of the pot with bets, since the maximum bet is always small and constant. Is there a player who is in a limit game just before you disembark, you can decide, for example, often a few pots by bluffing for itself after you have raised.

After increasing a sheet I use almost always on the flop, if less than three persons are involved in the pot. In such a case, you have shown strength before the flop and only then is it to play cautiously. Most of the time will strike your opponent is not strong enough to go along with your raise on the flop.

Here is a good example of why sharks raise pre-flop: 
Two people have difficulties in pre-flop raise with Ace-King. You miss the flop completely and goes along a player who has only the big blind, and then join in your increase is, 8-8. The flop is BD-5 and set as the first ("Bet-Out"). The last player will get out immediately, even though he had the better hand.

Conclusion: Be the one who raised and not the one calling. If you fish for the shark!
