Re: Hand to discuss Part 2 ??? You didn`t make a big raise you made a very small raise of only 2½BB, which potcomitted you, which i hate. In this hand it didn´t matter, because you are always going broke with that flop, no matter how you play it, thats the dream flop for you, and that somebody else have a bigger pair thats just to bad. But say someone sits with 2 highcards, then he knows that he will hit 1 of them 1/3 of the times on the flop, and then you will have put more than a third of you stack in preflop out of position, most likely he will break you if he hits. Your stack is 7 BB, go all-in preflop.
