In the “How-to-play-blinds” posts, I mention protecting your hand by using the preflop raiser to force the rest of the table to call two bets cold, making gutshot straights unprofitable to continue with. While this is not incorrect per se, it is slightly misleading if you think that you’re only profiting if they make the mistake of calling two cold. You will be profiting just as much by making them calling two bets, one at a time (e.g. checkraising if the bettor is immediatley to your left). They will still have paid two bets to see the next street; in which order the money went into the pot does not matter whatsoever. However, and this is the point I felt I didn’t make clearly enough: You want to emphasize that they’re making a mistake - this is why you want to make it two bets cold. The reason for the emphasis is that the pot is already big enough to be worth fighting over; and you want to increase your chances of winning it. Learning how to win the big pots is a very big part of being a successful poker player.
