How much value is there in raising 50% of the pots if you are Corporation Mike? I understand that it is a tight table but its not a tournament, you really dont need to "accumulate" chips to move onto later stages. This is why I think Mike would be a really good tourament player. The problem I have with him raising so much is if someone re-raises him preflop and he lets it go or if he ends up losing a monster pot because he was goofing around with like Q8 offsuit and flops trips against a boat, wouldnt it almost seems like negative EV in the long run? Any math-related or physcology-related reply's would be greatly appreciated.
