    Default Do you raise to steal in these positions?

    Fold'em or raise'em to steal in these positions? I called with A9s which I think was stupid. Your thoughts?
    Thanks

  2. #2
    #7 is fine.

    #8 - Where do you stand in this hand? Right now you have no idea so a fold is the right play. To help you out of this situation either raise it from mid position or rep the king on the flop. That's if you want to play this hand. Otherwise, you could have just folded it preflop. Since I'm a bit more cautious at this point in the tourney, I don't attempt very many steals from mid or early position. And if I enter a pot during this phase of the game, I will enter for a raise to give myself two ways to win.
    If people weren't involved....I would have mastered poker along time ago! - Play the Game!
