The Gap Concept

The gap concept in poker was first introduced by David Sklansky and it refers to the idea that a player needs a better hand to call a raise than the hand required to make the initial raise. In other words, the "gap" refers to the amount of difference in hand strength required to call a raise or to make the first raise. The concept is based on the idea that a player who makes the initial raise is showing strength, whereas a player who calls a raise is often weaker and needs a stronger hand to continue in the hand. The gap concept is a key idea in poker strategy and is an important consideration when deciding whether to make or call a raise.
