May Poker Thinking Contest

Presented by BowerCrush

When is it OK to Check & Call?

Sometimes it is ok to check and call or just call in a no limit hold em tournament. Most of the times it's not, but there are times, usually against loose aggressive players who like to make small bets to check and call as raising will generally lead to either being re-raised or generating a fold. By just checking and calling against this type of poker player, they continue to put money into the pot at small increments and give you the correct odds to draw to your hand or to win the pot even though you only have a marginal hand.

Everyone posting will be in a random draw for 2 x $3 in prizes

Don't usually check/call. Check/fold more than I'd like (play too many hands)
But have a fondness for check/raise, as it tends to create havoc. And many times a nice pot, as well !!! Razz
