Giggy Unveils His Game (4)

Discussion for Giggy Unveils His Game (4).

'tree' > 'three' oh, and very good video ;)

diablo, raising for the purpose of information is indeed always a bad idea. I think that as Martin explained, his raise on the turn was not for information. It was to charge draws and get a little value. He is able to make this raise, because as he explained, he can be confident that his particular opponent is not going to semibluff with a worse hand, so he can comfortably fold. this is very different from raising for information - which indeed is always bad. I'll let Martin pipe in ofc.

...just flat call your raise cause then you have to try and work out where you are again on the river!! many thanks again for the videos though!! i think my game has definatley improved since joining bluefire ;) tc

Diablo... I think Niman summed it up pretty well... maybe I've used the term "raising for information" badly there. Purely raising for information is a bad idea yes, if it accomplishes nothing else. The occasions where I use the term are mostly spots where I absolutely KNOW what my opponent is going to do with everything he has, and that allows me to like value bet the weak part of his range and easily fold when I'm beat. If you can't either value anything, or you have any doubts about what...

yes i think i have a slightly better understanding now - many thanks for your extra input guys... i am looking forward to seeing more from you both gl & ty
