The first reason that people raise is because they want some more money.  The pot grows and when you win it, you get more money.  That is a good and logical reason, however that is not always how it works out because you honestly – do not always win remember?  So you need to think about that whenever you are raising.

In the next blog, we are going to talk about how you can eliminate other players via raising, so keep that in mind!

Thang Luu is one of those guys that you absolutely have to watch out for whenever you are on a table with him.  The reason for it is because he honestly, does not look like a guy that can wipe the floor with you right?  But he does and he will every single time!  He is a guy that loves to play Omaha 8 and he has had one of the most impressive ones.

So if you are looking for someone to beat, Thang Luu is going to be that person but I wish you good luck – seriously!
