Missing Flop

[PShabi]

Okay donkeys,

Do we know the difference between bet and raise?

Is "it depends" am acceptable answer? With hands like AK, AQ etc you need to take into account the flop texture, your table image, amount of players still in the hand, their playing styles, and obviously their betting if they acted before you.

I'm not going to write an essay or anything, but I usually will bet these hands on a dry flop, and sometimes raise or check raise. It all depends on the above factors though.
