KK - Part III
kinboshi:
Why do you want him to pass a lower pair? Don"t you want him to make a mistake?
Doesn"t the raise just help the opponent play perfect poker? Isn"t the idea to make the opponent make a mistake?
hi_am_chris:
gettin bored of this thread lol theres still a chance jj and qq will play with u and call your bet bet of 1500 or 2000 and procede to stack off against you when the flop comes three babys and youve probably got hands that had a good chance of taking most of your chips (small pairs) when the flop comes three babys and they make a set.
kinboshi:
You make the raise, and the flop comes Jxx. He then shoves.
What do you do? If you"re calling for your whole stack on the flop anyway, why not just shove pre?
(if you"re bored with it, you don"t have to read it or reply ;))

You have already pushed because you are first to act. ;)

I don"t necessarily want him to pass but I want as many chips in the middle as possible when I"m ahead.
If he hasnt got AA then he has ALREADY made the mistake, of re-raising you. As I said, to take down a pot of this size this early pre-flop has to be good.
Of course if he has a lower pair and is too stupid to realise you have AA or KK and he calls your chips are going in on flop anyway, since you are first to act. So what is the point of holding back pre-flop?
