The Fish Call, the Sharks Raise – or so it’s said
In Facebook Poker Texas Hold’Em games, you will have the chance to see a lot of game play that looks like :”Raise, Call, Call and Call” going on. Here you’ll see the main reasons why you should avoid the temptation of doing the same.
Calling that facebook poker chips raise Shows signs Weakness
Any good facebook poker player knows that, in Facebook Texas HoldEm Poker , anyone that always calls is more like a fish that’s saying, “Yo, hit me with your best shot esse!” Calling hands all the time will just get you in trouble. If your hand isn’t strong enough to raise, it’s not strong enough to play it in the first place.
The one that Raises Controls the Hand – Muhahaha
When you raise a hand you show table dominance, kind of like alpha male stuff, by revealing your serious intentions to your poker opponents. If they miss the flop, you’ll take no prisoners, kill’em all, take everything. Here’s a pretty good example of why sharks raise on pre-flop:
Two players check by in the pre-flop and you raise with Ace-King. You totally miss the flop and a player who limped and then called your raise has 8-8. The flop comes J-Q-5 and you raise again. Most will immediately fold even though they have the winning hand.
As a very short conclusion : Use the force! Be the raiser, not the caller.
