DELAYING ONE ROUND TO DRIVE OPPONENTS OUT
In structured games
the size of the bet doubles on the third round of betting
- for example, from $5 to $10 in a $5-$10 games and from
$10 to $20 in a $10-$20 games. In these games you may want
to wait until the bet doubles in size before putting in
a raise - not as a slow play but as a better way of driving
people out. If in $10-$20, for example, you raise a $10
bet to $20 on the second round, some players behind you
may be willing to call, but if you wait until the next round
to raise a $20 bet to $40, these players will not be so
willing to pay the price. The greater likelihood of diving
opponents out with a big raise on the third round of betting
offsets the cheap $10 card you allowed them on the previous
round.
