Mike Caro

• By Mike Caro | Exit

When many opponents just call my big blind, I’ll seldom raise unless I have a powerful hand. Intermediate strength is seldom enough to justify my option to raise from the big blind position. That’s because I’ll need to act early on all future rounds of betting, giving all or most of my opponents a positional advantage. Unless I have real strength, I will usually accept a free look at the flop. You should, too
