The #1 Way to Increase Aggression

Jonathan Little breaks down check-raise strategy when calling from the big blind. Learn optimal frequencies based on bet sizing, nut advantage, and stack depth. Discover which hands to check-raise including premium pairs, flush draws, backdoor draws with blockers, and low pairs.

Master check-raise strategy by understanding bet size adjustment, nut advantage, and proper hand selection for maximum profitability.

Strategic Fundamentals:

• Check-raise frequency increases against smaller bets and decreases against larger bets
• Stack depth impacts strategy - shallower stacks require more frequent check-raising
• Nut advantage determines how aggressively you should check-raise on specific boards
• Check-raise sizing should be proportional to opponent's bet - smaller raises against bigger bets
• Dynamic boards require larger check-raise sizes for protection
• Four hand categories for check-raising: premium made hands, high equity draws, backdoor draws with blockers, and low pairs with blockers
• Flush draws with lower kickers check-raise more often than those with higher kickers to maximize fold equity
