as i said earlier bena. if you're losing to people whose cards you can see, you're making huge mistakes. the above post validates that.

Okay, then explain how you are making a profit when you can only buy small pots when no-one has a pair. Do you really think this is coming up often enough for you to be able to make up for all the blinds you have to pay, all the bluffs you have to give up, and all the 'suckouts' you are gonna see? They're not really ever suckouts, because everyone always holds a better hand than you.

Again, no one has made a legitimate counter-argument to my claim that never being able to win at showdown will destroy you. And like I said before, if your hand stayed fixed, it would be different, but since 32o mutates into the nut-low no matter what, all you HAVE is fold equity.

hand 3: why am i raising into people with top pair when i know i ONLY have fold equity?? check fold the flop!

[/ QUOTE ]

Um... with no showdown value, no pot equity, no implied odds and no chance of improving, expalin to me EXACTLY what value you EVER have other than fold equity??? The answer is, none. Fold equity is the only value you have in your hypothetical situation. If you want to argue with that, then explain how you can win at showdown?

[/ QUOTE ] yes you ALWAYS only have fold equity. so why are we hoping that 2 people BOTH with top pair will fold?? why not wait until you're against ONE opponent who has bottom pair or worse? of course this deal is unprofitable if you play like you have to win every single pot.
