Default Re: MLET Challenge: Labatt Action

thrakkar said it best "theres a fine line between being a genuis and an idiot" and ive already said it was borderline (call it a screwplay if you will) so I probably should stop defending my funky -EV line.

In short, my raise probably isnt +EV but I wanted to get this HU and give myself a chance of outplaying him postflop. its a changeup I admit that and even wookie says it is OK once in a while.

yes, he isnt that likely to fold a made hand but he is more likely to fold a hand that is better than mine that doesnt connect the flop.

I believe that by 3betting I greatly increase my chances of taking this pot down on the flop/turn and I decrease the chance of me being outplayed postflop and gives me a (slightly) better chance to outplay my opponent postflop. By outplay I also mean that I am capable of making the right fold.

FWIW if I do rarely limp when folded to me in HJ, CO or Button.

why do I feel like Im defending the indefensible? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
