Default Re: ed miller says fold

Wow, this is a pretty standard fold. I love to have 67s on the button, but I do not like calling 7bb raises with them or playing them HU against a PFR. Now, if I am the one raising limpers then I like it fine.

Occasionally re-raising to mix it up is fine, but against a player described as solid (I assume that means he can lay down his QQ when you shove that 345 flop) I have no problem folding this.

Just think. You are calling 7bbs to flop 2-pair or better. One of you math guys calculate how much you need to win on average to make that call profitable. SCs play well multi-way, not in HU raised (or re-raised) pots.

LOL at SSNL questioning Ed's thought process here.

Agreed.

You can't call with 67s here for value alone.

You could call if you think you can use your positional advantage to sometimes win the hand unimproved, but that requires a great deal more info than the fact that villain raised some limpers. You'd have to know a lot about how the villain plays postflop, for instance, and whether or not the blinds/limpers are likely to call (because trying to win unimproved in multi-way pot is a horrible idea).
