4. What is another reason to try for a check-raise ?
Ans : Giving a free card when trying to check-raise is not so terrible in this game, since most opponents will call your bet anyway.
5. What does the check-raise enable you to do ?
Ans : To gain a double bet, as well as to frequently knock out players who are going the same way as you are.
