Checkraise (poker)

[PrtyPSux 0]

A check-raise in poker is a common deceptive play in which a player checks early in a betting round, hoping someone else will open. The player who checked then raises in the same round.

open-farrell = open-folding when you have the option of checking (especially for "strategic" purposes as espoused by jfarrell)

I remember in TOP Sklansky mentioned that a lot of people feel this way. I wish I could find the game in which those people play.

My local card room when I lived in olympia ( a 2-4 game O8 game that became a 2-3-4-5 game, that charged time instead of a rake and you dealt your own) it was illegal to check raise, because all the old timers that came in there to have a nice, friendly, social game considered it rude, and it causes fights and trouble or what ever. It was absurd, but it made for an easier decision when one of these old bastards bet out into you on the river.

I've only once pulled off the triple check/raise but to make it more impressive it was in an NL game (ok it was a home game). It was a thing of beauty.

Not as feared as the dreaded Check Min Raise.

If I check and then decide later that I want to raise based on the action, it's still a check-raise, right? Or just a check and then a raise?

I believe it is also known as the Quadfecta.

Can someone please explain it to me better? I don't feel as if I have a full grasp of the concept.

[psujohn 0]

I've actually seen invites to home games that included the line "check/raising IS allowed".

[NoSup4U 0]
