Message: [QUOTE="WVHillbilly, post: 1206600, member: 29447"] Actually it's good to have the knowledge even online. Here is an example of why: $1/$2 UTG: $40 MP2: $200 BTN: $200 You are the BTN with AA. UTG, a bad short stacker, opens for $8. MP2 calls. You want to raise with your Aces but if you raise a standard amount (say to $30) the UTG shorty can shove for his extra $10 and MP2 can call knowing that you can not reopen the betting. Now if you're pretty sure that the UTG raiser will shove to any raise you can do something pretty cool by raising smaller (you can't make it any more than $24). Now when UTG shoves MP2 is stuck. If he calls you can raise again and get all your $$ in the middle preflop. [/QUOTE]
