Backraises and limp raises should be banned from all card rooms! They are the height of bad manners and immorality!

Norrrr. It's fine to pretend you have a good hand. That's part of the game duh. But to limp or call representing a weaker hand, and then raising to represent a strong hand is just RUDE AND IMMORAL.

Now you've put it in capitals I agree. Scared not to, frankly.

I was under the impression that a backraise was just a standard 3b. A New York Backraise is a flataraise then reraise?

hence why he got spat on which was equally disgusting but this was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, when if you called someone  a Donk or said a bad word to anyone they would get all Jedi on you and take you for a ride in the boot of the millennium falcon

Known as "sand-bagging" in parts of North America and not allowed in some card-rooms.

Well that used to be the case back in the day..

a proper sandbag is to chk/raise all three streets and get called and win on the end!

Abso gangster line no idea how you could ever possibly do it though - someone tried to do it to me once in a live game but luckily i had a full house and I won.

This would be more likely and a more reasoned play in limit Holdem. Love the phrase sandbagging
