Default Re: JTs settle a disagreement with DeathDonkey

This is a raise (and it's not even close). I'm surprised that so many high-volume players would call. Some points:

1) As pots become larger it becomes more and more valuable to take "free" (why don't we call them cheap?) cards. This pot is already a pretty fair size.

2) Implied odds inshmied odds. You have limpers chasing right now and a pretty big edge. Getting money in now is going to be a pretty big value play for you. No guarantee that these guys are intending to chase the next street.

3) "Implied odds" continue to suck. The SB (the PFR who lead the flop) will check the turn UI very often.

It's fun to get greedy and dream of the multiway trap on the turn when you spike your flush, but about a million things need to go right in order for this to happen. Raise now and get money in against the chasers. Give yourself the option to check behind if you miss.
