[I Eat Gamblers]

For those of you new to poker the check-raise is very simple...pass on your turn by checking, another player bets when it comes back around to you raise. Some believe this method to be a controversial/deceptive one. I truely believe it to be my friend, without it the game would be less interesting. Check-raising adds many things to the game of poker, such as the positional disadvantage, trapping agressive players, makes opponents think twice about betting after you check,gives you another bluffing option, and most important it's an excellent way to mix up your game.

Is it really a bad method of betting? I Think Not!!!!!!
