Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
A raise freezer is a special call bet
A raise freezer is a special call bet that can be made by any active player at any time after three raises. That puts an end to all raises for that particular betting round or interval. Whenever three or more raises have taken place on any betting round, any active player, at his turn of play, after placing an amount equal to the last player's bet into the pot, calls "Freeze," and puts an end to any further raises for that particular betting round.
Check and Raise
Check and Raise Check and Raise, also known as "sandbagging," is permitted. It's part of the skill of Poker and is permitted in all styles of Poker with the possible exception of Private or Social Poker.
