Poker Strategy: When to
Check-Raise in a Sit and Go Tournament
The check-raise is a strong move that should be
used sparingly. It can be used as a bluffing device, as a semi-bluffing device,
and as a defending strategy for a great hand. The first way in which the
check-raise can be used is as a bluffing tool. To set up the bluff the
check-raise can be used during the preflop, the flop, the turn, at the river, or
at a combination of these game events. If a player doesn't have a strong opening
hand, but they do have the advantage of a late position and most of the early
position players have folded or checked to them and there are no more than three
players remaining in the round, the player can use a check-raise to start their
bluff. A check-raise under these circumstances will almost always force the
other players in the hand to fold, unless they too are trying to bluff their
opponents.
If the check-raise is called or raised at the flop, and the player feels that
their opponents are also trying to bluff in this hand, they may want to again
make a check-raise bet instead of backing off or folding. If their opponent(s)
still don't back down, then the player will need to decide if the amount of
poker chips they have already added to the pot are all ready too much for them
to wager, or if they feel that they have enough chips to see their bluff through
until the showdown. If they decide to go as far as they need to defend their
hand, they will want to maintain their aggressiveness to the end, when wither
their opponents fold out of the hand or they meet their fate at the showdown.
Another way the check-raise can be used is as a
semi-bluff tool. The semi-bluff check-raise can occur at the preflop to
intimidate their opponents into folding out of the hand, or it can be applied to
the flop thereby allowing the other players to add chips to the pot during the
preflop. The benefit of using the check-raise for a semi-bluff is that if the
semi-bluff makes it to the showdown, there is still a chance that the hand will
be able to win the hand on its own merits.
The final way that the check-raise can be used is to defend a killer hand.
The check-raise is a very strong and aggressive bet that should be used
sparingly. However, if there is a hand that is worth defending, the check-raise
is a great way to intimidate weaker players, and to entice aggressive players
into adding more chips to the pot. This strategy will help a player to minimize
their losses and it will help them to maximize their wins. By learning all of
the above semi-bluffing skills and strategies a poker player will be able to
perform better is a sit and go tournament, and they will be able to improve
their overall poker playing abilities.
To quote the great Doyle Brunson "Poker without the check raise is like
football without the forward pass".
