There are many possible ways to increase your poker bankroll – playing more hands, choosing better opponents, and so on. But how many times can you reraise in a given poker game? The answer is not as simple as it first appears.
First of all, it’s important to understand that reraising is not necessarily a sign of weakness. A player who reraises often is simply trying to get the best possible hand – preferably one that beats the original raiser’s hand – and is not afraid to put more money into the pot.
That said, there are certain poker games where a player is more likely to be reraised than others. In Draw and Pot-Limit Omaha, for example, it’s common for players with weak hands to be reraised multiple times before they’re forced to fold.
In contrast, in No-Limit Hold’em, most players will only be reraised once or twice before folding.
Ultimately, the key to increasing your poker bankroll is playing the right amount of hands and choosing the right opponents. If you’re able to do that, you should rarely if ever have to raise in order to stay in the game.
