Facing Raises

Lesson 15 · Fold, call, or re-raise when raised · 24 practice questions

Raise = strength or semi-bluff

A raise is rarely pure air — it's value (two pair+, sets) or a semi-bluff (strong draws). Re-evaluate your hand vs this narrower range.

Fold the bottom

When facing a raise, fold the bottom of your range. One pair and weak draws often can't continue profitably.

Re-raise with the nuts

Re-raise (3-bet) with your strongest hands and best semi-bluff draws. Calling keeps villain's bluffs alive.

Key takeaways

• Raises polarize or merge depending on sizing — respect the strength signal.
• Fold one-pair hands and weak draws vs raises on wet boards.
• Re-raise value hands and combo draws; don't slow-play into aggression.

FAQ

What should you do when your c-bet gets raised?

Fold your weakest air, continue with strong made hands and good draws, and 3-bet the flop with your best value and select semi-bluffs — raises are usually value-heavy, so respect them.

How often are flop check-raises bluffs?

A balanced check-raiser mixes value and semi-bluffs, but many players are under-bluffed on the flop — against them you can fold marginal hands more than GTO suggests.
