Message: [QUOTE="gustav197poker, post: 6164715, member: 393841"] Whenever you don't have enough equity to call a bet you should fold, or you can bluff. In this case when you raise the flop you are blocking a hand like A7s. But that hand should call more times, since it is reducing the possibility that the V has bet with dominated hands like 87s, etc. Therefore the raise is made when your opponent bet with his full range and now you think is unlikely will make 3bet on the flop with a hand like KQs, representing the aces that have the best kickers. However when the board indicates that V might have some flush draw combos, it decreases the chance of getting more folds from UTG. The possibility of increasing fold equity is when he thinks your range is too closed. Because in this case the opponent should fold with hands like JJ or TT. The villain must be very disciplined when he has more values formed in his range, since your position in the BB denotes a wider range by default. Greetings. [/QUOTE]
