[Noted Poker Authority] Playing No-Limit With A Plan · Professional Texas Hold'em Tips and ...: Your entire table is very nitty, including the preflop raiser. You think the preflop raiser is making such a large raise because he’s nervous about his hand he wants everyone to fold.

[Cardschat Poker Forums] SNG Question. - Poker Forums: That's exactly what I had in one of the key hands, and I could easily have called for half my stack (the raiser was all-in preflop), but I didn't. The guy ahead of me snap-called, and the raiser flopped a set.

[Daily Hand Quiz] Medium pair facing heavy preflop action, NL MTT - Daily Poker Quiz: Not only that, the chips added by the SB make the prospect of a race against the UTG+1 raiser more appealing.

[Guate Poker] Slowplaying Poker : Guate Poker:  In this case you need to determine the looseness of the pre-Flop raiser. If you think he is willing to call all the way to the River with a hand like AK, you may want to check-raise on the Flop and take the lead.  If he is willing to play hard with a hand like AT, then you do not mind betting and raising at every opportunity.  If there is a greater probability that he will give you more credit and fold to your aggressive play on the Flop and Turn, then it may be best to just check and call his bets, until an A or K show up, then a check-raise may get more money into the pot if he indeed has a pair.  The correct usage of slowplaying will depend on how you think your opponent will play.

[Chips in the Middle] Pot Limit Omaha - Pre-flop problems in PLO: The fact that they could be eating my outs was predictable and it was predictable early on.  I called a $0.35 raise and allowed it to get me involved to the tune of nearly a full buyin in a pot that I had little enough chance of winning.  After the Big Blind 3-bet and the original raiser went all-in, I was faced with a decision.  I had to call @$4 but I knew there was a reasonable chance that one of the other players in the hand would shove.  I had only $0.35 invested and could easily have simply folded.  I should have predicted that many of my outs would be gone.
