ok here's my case.


when you clearly dont know how to value bet in slim spots like you're gonna get in hands like this, then you fold. if you're able to play them and not lose more than you should with these type of hands, then you can play them. but clearly OP is having trouble knowing when to raise, fold, and call in spots where it's not so ABC clear.

these type of speculative hands can make money if you play them well, but they also get you in spots where you lose a lot with them as well if you're not careful. think about how many times you end up paying off, or even worse, raising! in spots like this when if you had folded pre, ther would be no issue.

playing hands like this in multi-way pots is a great tool in switching it up, playing big drawing pots.. but you lose more than you win when you make spewy river raises in spots when you're clearly beat. these hands do not have a lot of value, and when you dont play them correctly, theyre a losing hand in the long term.

bob.. you clearly know i'm not holding my advice as my own material/guidelines.. but someone who will raise this river into two opponents when you get 3-bet AND call? give me a break.. thats the point of my argument.. i think you can play this hand.. dont get me wrong.. but when i read this post this guy clearly doesnt have very well hand reading skills and should fold hands like this if he cant decide when to make rive raises into multi-opponents.. am i wrong?

i could care less about the results.. i didnt even read them before i replied, like i always do.. i just think that playing these type of hands, in correlation to a simple mistake that OP made, should show all the ppl who responded that he clearly isnt ready to play these type of hands..


bob, you clearly know how to play this type of hand and when to and not to raise this river, and a many others do.. but i am responding to THIS EXACT POSTER, dont be confused by me saying to fold it preflop, as correlating to everybody who reads this.. its my response to someone who seems uncomfortable in his decisions post-flop with threatening spots.
