This situation is common, where you are probably beat but have a great draw. Raise. You could just call, but consider the possibilities. If you raise, he might fold right then. That is good, because you win without a made hand. If he calls, you are in great shape with two cards to go, and if you eventually win the hand, a raise makes you more money in the end. By raising now, you gain power, and you carry more strength into the next betting round. Most players in this situation call, but remember, if you should call, you can raise.

Raising is your finest moment. I am amazed how many players deprive themselves of the experience.

Just saying the words is a fulfillment of destiny. “I raise.” What a joy! “I’m all in.” You don’t get words more empowering than those.

I remember a game in which I was really tearing it up. I was in control of the table. And some great players were there: Seymour Lebowitz, Sam Petrillo and Tommy Hufnagle, all world-class players.

One particular hand, I was dealt 3/Clubs and 5/Hearts. I raised before the flop. I got re-raised, and I raised again. At that point, nobody would put me on a 3-5 off suit. The flop came 3/Diamonds, 5/Spades, 5/Clubs. Needless to say, I went all in. When I got called, the pot grew to over $45,000.
