Tao of Poker

Check-Raise and the Penguin

Just read the Poker Penguin and his latest entry about the check raise.Take a peek.

Here's my favorite part: "Check-raising makes you feel smart, it doesn't win you any money. Betting out wins you money (this pot if they fold, next pot when you showdown a winner and bet out next time). I know I prefer winning money to feeling smart."
