Gap concept[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]

[SIZE=2]The gap concept states that a player needs a better hand to play against someone who has already opened (or raised) the betting than he would need to open himself.The gap concept reflects that players prefer to avoid confrontations with another player who has already indicated strength, and that calling only has one way to win (by having the best hand), whereas opening may also win immediately if your opponent(s) fold.[/SIZE]
 
 [B][SIZE=2]Sandwich effect[/SIZE][/B]

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Related to the gap effect, the sandwich effect states that a player needs a stronger hand to stay in a pot when there are opponents yet to act behind him. Because the player doesn't know how many opponents will be involved in the pot or whether he will have to call a re-raise, he doesn't know what his effective pot odds actually are. Therefore, a stronger hand is desired as compensation for this uncertainty.
