Preflop Calling Ranges question

In one of the articles on cardschat I read the following:
(https://www.cardschat.com/preflop-calling-hand-ranges.php)

Suited broadway + offsuited broadway: In the same vain as suited connectors I will frequently flat all suited broadway in position. I will do a lot of floating with pairs and backdoor draws, I will often raise continuation bets in position when I flop overcards with suited broadway. So for example, cuttof raises preflop and I flat QJs on the button. Flop comes down 278 with 1 of my suit, this is a great spot to raise a continuation bet.

Can someone explain why you should raise continuation bet in that case?

Thanks

There is no "one size fits all" BUT but since most PF raisers are gonna c-bet this flop, you can get a lot of hands that raise pre and c-bet this flop to fold with a raise here, or call with a hand you can still draw out on.

But that is the oversimplified explanation......

Also in the article author says "in position" (lets say we play 6max) means button only or late position is OK too?

As your opponent seems to totally miss the flop, why not trying to raise and just take the pot here? Even if you get called, you still have some chances to hit a pair or backdoor draw.

Dear OP,

I read a CC thread on this yesterday. I think it was a good thread. Here it is:

These are my notes on the topic. Feel free to critique.

Raising Flop CBETs:

>Value: On dry flops when you are certain the villain has a strong range (that has likely missed), raising can be a good way to get action before a scare card comes (e.g, a 3rd suited card, an over card etc). This can be used when I have a strong hand vs a tight villain (lots of PP) on a low disconnected board

>bluff raising is less desirable on broadway boards as these make up the majority of villain ranges

>Bluff raising works better against regs and semi-LAGS than other player types. NITs are normally betting with value (will not fold to a bluff) and loose players can either hit the pot in many ways or simply refuse to fold (a characteristic of their player type).

>A theoretically sounds time to bluff raise flop cbets is after defending the BB vs a wide BTN betting range as these ranges miss flops a lot more than hit them.

> Bluff-raising turn DB when an obvious draw hits is a good spot.

>It’s difficult to successfully bluff raise co-ordinated boards as people will often put me on a draw, meaning their PP’s and draws are also likely to call.

> Bluff raising with absolute air should be done more frequently when IP. Strong semi-bluff raises should be more OOP to negate the advantage of position.
