Video overview.
Getting raised on the flop is awkward.
Even if you've got a good hand, seeing your continuation bet get raised is uncomfortable. What do you do? The stakes have raised rapidly, and mistakes get costly. So it's awesome if you know how to react.
Flop raises are tricky because they're unexpected, and the difficulty comes from a relative lack of experience in handling them. In this video, SplitSuit covers six hands where Hero's bet gets raised on the flop. These include:
- Hand 1 - 3betting preflop and continuation betting the flop - then getting raised.
- Hand 2 - Getting raised with an open-ended straight draw.
- Hand 3 - Getting raised with an overpair.
- Hand 4 - 3betting preflop and getting raised on the flop with TPTK.
- Hand 5 - Getting raised with a set.
- Hand 6 - Getting raised with top two-pair.
So that's a tasty range of awkward and profitable spots where you're facing that flop raise. SplitSuit's discussion and analysis should help you feel more comfortable the next time you find yourself in a similar position with a similar hand.
