Reraise



Note this hand is from Eric Sprague's PartyPoker play.
I am Player1 in this demo.
QT is not the strongest hand in no limit. That said, getting top pair on the flop with a Q makes the hand interesting. Flopping top pair is a nice feeling but my kicker is a ten. This could be a second place hand because someone could easily be holding AQ, KQ, QJ (yes, some players limp with these hands). I bet $1 on the flop and get raised $2. At this point maybe the raiser thought my bet was just for information. However, it could be that he has me outkicked. Rather than waiting to the river, I want to see where I stand so I reraise. He mucks his hand. This example shows that reraising can be used to gather information and one of the side benefits is that it could cause your opponent(s) to fold without a showdown.
