 Betting in to the raiser in poker strategy.
Betting in to the raiser is one of those strategies that even many seasoned poker players will fall trap too. It one of those poker strategies that will piss the raiser off and may put him on insta tilt especially if you are dealing with an ego driven poker player that will take it as you pushing him around. This is a perfect poker strategy against this type of player. He will not think about the situation and will push all in.
This is a great example of this that happened to me a few months ago. I had a couple of good hands and had some extra chips to play with. I get dealt 33 I just try and limp in with this hand and see a cheap flop. A guy close to the button raises the blinds with AJ, The blinds were 200 and he makes it 600 to play. So I have the chips where a little raise like that is no big deal. The flop comes J33. I just hit a monster hand that I would usually slow play, this time since I know this guy wont like being pushed around I come out firing. I make it a thousand to play he comes over the top by 2000 more so I call. The turn comes and it?s a 10 I bet 2000 he goes all in and I take all his chips. If he would have thought about the situation just a bit he might have lived to see another day but because I raised in to him he thought I was pushing and he was having none of it. What you will find is that some players will have a hard time laying down top pair with an awesome kicker no matter what. I have seen people play their AA even when it was evident that they where good they just cant bring themselves to lay the hand down. This is vital to becoming successful at poker in the long term if you know you are beat muck the hand and live another day. Now if you know you have a guy like this sitting with you take advantage of it push in to him, which if he is ego driven will cost him to make a huge mistake and will possibly give you all his chips like in my situation. You should have seen the guys face when I flopped over my quad 3?s. He was well expecting to rake the pot. So next time you are in a online poker game or in a local tournament give this strategy a try and let me know how it goes. We would love to hear from you in our poker forum about a story where betting in to the raiser in your poker strategy was a huge success.
You will love this strategy and the look of bedazzlement on your opponents face when you apply this poker strategy properly. It has worked for me lots of times. It is especially powerful if you have a aggressive playing style and the players think you are bulling or stealing pots.
