Capitalizing On The Check-Raise
Poker Pro Series
The check-raise is one of the stronger moves a player can make in poker game.
The play sends an instant message to an opponent that you either have a strong hand or that you’re putting them to the test, and are forcing the action in an attempt to take the pot from them.
Properly utilized, the check-raise will be dependent on the situation in which you find yourself.
Sometimes it’s a play to steal the pot, while other times it will be used to defend a lead you may have.
On rare occasions you can even use the play to build the pot when you have a monster hand.
Check-raising to steal the pot is best attempted against an opponent who can easly be forced off a medium-to-weak-strength hand.
Check-raising novice or loose players when you have nothing will often get you in trouble because those players are much less likely to fold their hands.
They don’t give you credit for a hand, and you’ll be in a tough situation out of position after the next street.
Save the check-raise moves for players whom you expect to take a stab at the pot with weak holdings if no one has raised the action before them.
When you check-raise an opponent who is trying to make a move for the pot, you’ll almost always pick it up right there.
If you do get called, you can either fire another barrel at the pot or you can get off the hand and hopefully you’ll get a free card from your opponent if they also decide to check.
The type of opponent you’re in the hand with should help you determine whether or not to make another bet into your opponent after they called the first one.
Flopping the lead in a hand, when you’re out of position, is usually a situation where you should consider the check-raise.
Unless you have the nut hand, your hand will be vulnerable somehow.
To bet into your opponent or opponents will rarely be to your advantage.
Betting your hand for value in this situation creates a lot of question marks if you get called.
But a check-raise will tell you where you’re going to get your action from, and after your check-raise you’ll most likely win more than you would have if you decided to bet out your big hand right away.
This type of situation usually requires that you have a big lead, and that you make a big raise so that any drawing opponents will have to make a bad play to stay in the hand against you.
Make sure that possible straight and flush draws pay at least the size of the pot to draw another card.
Get your chips in there when you have the best of it, and don’t wait until they draw out to a bigger hand before you make your move.
When you are in an aggressive situation, like heads up or shorthanded games with aggressive players, check-raising to build a pot can be a tricky way to get an opponent to play when they normally may not have.
If the action has been going back and forth between you and another player, check-rasing would look more like a weak move than a strong one.
It looks like you’re just trying a re-steal, and players with big cards will give you action because they feel you’re just trying to push them around.
You’ll be able to value bet all the way to the river, getting called by an opponent who doesn’t believe that you would have check-raised with a big hand in that situation.

Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
It means putting in those raises and bets with value when the situation is right.
What’s one attribute that most successful poker players possess?
Is it the ability to read people?
A knowledge of number?
A good grasp of the fundamentals of the game?
The best answer to that question is actually “aggression”.
If you want to be a winning poker player you must be aggressive.
A lot of bad poker players find it hard to be aggressive at the table, and their passive tendencies make them fish bait for the sharks.
Some people say you can’t teach a poker player to be aggressive because it’s a natural instinct.
However, if you sat down a fish with a pro and showed him how being aggressive helps him win, it would definitely help them see why it’s so important.
Before we get too far let’s explain the difference between playing aggressive and playing like a donk.
Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
That’s plain stupid play, not aggressive play.
Being aggressive means putting in those raises and bets with value when the odds are in your favor, or you think you can bluff the pot, or you’ve picked up a tell from your opponent that you can exploit.
Playing like a donk is throwing in a huge bet with no reasoning to back that bet up.
This would include chasing improbable draws and trying to bluff at the wrong time.
Playing aggressive will give you an advantage over your opponent because it puts all the pressure on them.
They have to make all their decisions in reaction to your moves.
By putting this preasure on your opponent you open up more instances in which they might make a mistake and pay you off.
There are three things that playing aggressive will do to help your game…
-
Reduces the number of players – When you’re always betting and raising nobody can check or call a small bet to get a free or cheap card.
This should limit the number of players playing against you, unless you’re up against a bunch of donks.
The number of players you are up against makes a big difference no matter what cards you are holding.
You’ll hear some donks say that by betting and raising you’re keeping the pot from growing.
This is actually false, and it doesn’t matter how big the pot is if you allow players with crap cards to tag along to the river cheap, only for them to get lucky and beat you with a hand you could have made them fold by betting. -
Increases the pot size – Playing aggressive really does keep the pot growing.
If you’re repeatedly betting and raising it will make it harder for other players to know when you’re playing a strong hand and when you’re bluffing with garbage.
Since you’re hard to read you will receive more calls when you bet big instead of having everyone fold, leaving you only the blinds.
Think of it like this: “Two players calling a bet of $100 creates a bigger pot than four players calling a bet of $25″. -
You can win two ways – If you’re betting and raising you can win two different ways.
You can either win with the best hand or you can win by causing everyone else to fold.
If you’re not aggressive no one will ever fold to your bets and you’ll only win when you have the best hand.
That’s playing by luck instead of skill.
Remember the old adage – “luck fades, skills doesn’t”.
