I need to vent about a stupid play, and how it makes you like a sucker. I see this all the time at the tables.
Here it is:
You call a pre-flop raise, out of position, and then you lead out on the flop.
Are you mental? - I don't care what you have in your hand, never ever do this. In fact, I know what you have. Either a bluff or you have A9s, hit a nine high flop, and lead out thinking: what a fukx, I can can beat AK ..., duh....
But here is what happens: You get raised big and then you fold, right? You figure he really does have Aces, or hit a set, and it was worth a shot.
Calling a raise out of position is very bad. But leading out on the flop out of position into the pre-flop raiser is heinous.
Oh, and the flip of this: If you are the pre-flop raiser and someone just calls and than bets on the flop, always raise them. They are either repping top-pair, trying to bully you, or have a flush draw. There is no way on earth someone calls a raise pre-flop and then leads out with a flopped set of better.
Raise that troll and send him back under the loser bridge.
