Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6586809, member: 289533"] Yeah, it is okay to raise the flop when you have more info about Villains. And you are against two opponents OOP. The problem of raising in this situation is that, although you have the nuts for the flop most of times, you will have to give up to a lot of rivers that completed sequences and flushes from both of your opponents. Plus, MP have plenty of AA, KK, QQ and JJ (because you didn’t 3-bet/Squeeze preflop). It is interesting to raise to protect our entire range from straights and flushes draws, however we are going to do this raise only a couple of times having precisely 22 and QJ that have called preflop. In a situation like this we won’t show a lot of QQ and JJ because those hands would have squeezed preflop most of times not to play OOP versus two villains. Also AQ and sometimes KQ would have squeezed not called into a 3-way pot OOP. If I was playing this hand I would call the flop to continue calling turn-river given a good price. Nonetheless, if my opponent elects to polarize( I would have to fold on the turn or on the river. If I make the pot grows faster on the flop, even when it comes flushes and straights turn-river, I will have to call knowing that I will be losing a lot of times for hearts more than losing for AT. Summarizing, we don’t own a lot of value hands that could raise the flop versus MP and BTN, and this means a lot of strength for those who read it proper. On the other side we have plenty of bluffs, our draws of hearts bluffs, our sequence bluffs, whatever. Having QJ is not so good because we would have top two pair and most likely dominating villains ranges and get a lot of folds of losing hands and a lot of calls/raises of hands that beat us.
