This philosophy alludes to how you should come into pots aggressively.

Texas hold’em players have a common saying about pre-flop strategy: If your hand is good enough to call with, it’s good enough to raise with. Usually only a bet and three raises (or four raises) are allowed on each round of betting. Most cardrooms have a limit on the number of bets and raises allowed. Of course, whenever you raise, the original bettor has the option to reraise, putting the onus back on you to match his bet to stay in the hand. By checking and raising your opponent’s bet you can use his position against him to get more money into the pot when you’re holding the nuts, and make him throw away the best hand when you’re bluffing. 10 Essential Texas Hold’em Moves: The Check-Raise Use the check raise with caution.
