At first glance, the concept of raising to gain a free card may seem a little confusing but it can be a good value. Your position is an important factor when making this play and it works best when you are in late position and there are few players acting after you. When a player raises it usually means that he is holding a strong hand. In many instances, other players will check to the raiser on the next betting round for fear of being raised if they bet. If you have raised from late position and it is checked to you, you can also check and have the opportunity of seeing the next card for free.

This play is used a lot of the times on the flop when the betting limits are lower. In a $3/$6 game, the betting limit on the flop is $3; if you raise, it will cost you $6. The next betting round the limit goes to $6. If everyone checks to you on the turn because you raised, you can also check and you will get to see the river card for the price of your raise on the flop, which is $6. If you merely bet on the flop and then someone bets in front of you on the turn, it will cost you $9 to see the river card. By raising on the flop, you have increased the likelihood that it will be checked to you and you will see the turn card for free.

If you raise before the flop from late position, there is a chance that you can see all the way to the river card for free. You raise before the flop and then it is checked to you after the flop. If you check, you will get to see the turn card for free. In a tight game the players may again check to you after the turn card, which means that you can see the river card for free as well. You try to get a free card when you nave a drawing hand and want to try to make your hand as cheaply as possible. However, you need to remember that while you are receiving a free card, all of your opponents are getting one as well. There is an equal chance that they will make their hands with the free cards. If you have raised, and a player bets before it is your turn to act, that usually means he improved his hand with one of the free cards. You may have to abandon your hand.
