Is re-raising really bad manners?

[Artemis]

Why?

[SirValcarde]

No.

[DIENER]

No. It's a tactic.

[Rock "the Dwayne" Johnson]

Well. In friendly matches, it's more like a slap in the face. Raising is usually considered something everyone has to call, and you know, you just roll with it. But re-raising is like, ♥♥♥♥ YOU I CALL THE SHOTS.

This right here stats it all and thats why I love to do it

people hate re-raise when they're bluffing, also re-raising in this game is a good way to trick the AI

[Spawn of Totoro]

I like to call, wait for an NPC to re-raise, then I will go all in. They seem to hate that. Almost everyone folds at that point.

It's just a bit annoying when you're in a proper game. Same goes for putting in a massive bet on the pre-flop

[Plot Seeker]

It is bad manners cause you expose those with bad hands and bluffs. Great for you, sucks for them.

[Aegix Drakan]

Re-raising can be annoying if I've just called a raise, and now I'm not sure if I should stick with it.

That said, I do it once in a while, if I have a REALLY good hand and go "what now? Still in?"

when I have a good hand, I like to slowly string people along so they bet on their own and I don't scare them off...But if everyone just called a raise, I might as well push them over the edge just for fun.

This. THIS pisses me the hell off.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FREAKIN FLOP YET, why are you betting so much?! I have an Ace and a 10 of the same suit and I now have to fold because I'm convinced that you have a pair of kings. >_<

Nothing wrong with bullying people out of some chips from the get-go.

Exactly, it's a strategy.

And yet Telltale apparently thing it's the same as kicking puppies.

You don't know the game of poker at all if you really have to ask this question. The game itself is rude to begin with. You're lying to people's faces constantly and on top of that calling them out on their lies to everyone else in public!

And all of a sudden here you are asking if a re-raise is rude?!?! LOL!!!

All of a sudden you grow a conscience in the middle of a game based on rudeness??? LOL!!!

On another note... Did you take any stats on how many times the flop helped your strong set of hole cards vs not helping??? If you didn't then maybe you shouldn't be suggesting "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FREAKIN FLOP YET".

There's a reason for this strategy and it can be seen on any WSOP or WPT several times.

Nice necro there just to be a self-righteous ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You might want to get a life though.

dont ask questions you dont want to know the answers to...
