Preflop: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $2.

I'm not sure if this is a +EV move, or not. I usually wait until the BB unless I am going to be CO, then I take my chances.

Ordinarily in a full handed game you pay the blind and the small blind to see ten hands. That's 1.5 small bets for ten hands or .15 small bets per hand. If you post in the Co you are paying 1 small bet to see seven hands. Thats .14 small bets per hand. Its a bargain!!! Plus if you hit a "BB special" you are actually in position for the entire hand.

Flop: (24 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>

SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets . . .

Not great. Here's where I start hearing Ed's voice asking, "How big is the pot." And I "start thinking about how I am going to win it." Another 6? Runner-Runner for the flush? King? I have enough options and the pot is big enough to give me odds for these possibilities, so I'm in.

Do you really need Ed to tell you this? Seem to me he's talking about even more marginal situations than this. At this point in the hand I certainly wouldn't have decided somebody has KK and I doubt they have 3,5 for the straight and so I'm thinking two pair ain't bad and trips would be great and the odds of hitting one of those is 8.5-1. Simple pot odds would seem to be enough to keep you playing when there are 24 small bets in the pot before anybody even start the flop betting.

Lets not forget that simple concept eh? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
