Good post, but I disagree with this. Most 3-6 players like to call. Most don't have a clue about pot odds. Some of them are so clue-less about pot odds but are so against "chasing" that they'll fold when they're getting huge odds.

Well, I think that depends on where/when you play. I think most 3-6 players have some kind intuitive grasp on pot odds. I don't think they are calculating them, but I think at least half of the 3-6 live players have the general idea that if the pot is big (or some just count the players instead) they can draw to a long shot. They can pick up that much simply by watching TV. Then, of course you have the other players that still believe "it's foolish to chase after an inside straight". Those are usually the weak-tight players, usually older in age that have been playing by the same weak-tight rules for so long that they will probably never change.

My main point was that in this situation, even the "skilled" 3-6 players would probably never lay down a draw because usually their skills stop at pot odds. For the unskilled players who play every draw regardless, well that's even more of a reason to hit em hard. Slowplaying in a typical 3-6 live game is pointless unless you are up against a table full of AARP members(American Association of Retired Peoples). I wouldn't even think about whipping out a slowplay until I hit a 10-20 or 20-40, and even then it would be situational.

In almost all situations at 3-6, you just aren't going to lose that many overcalls by raising and certainly not often enough to offset missing that extra bet. (Most of them will call two bets cold, especially into a large pot, they don't even stop to think they could be drawing dead).

I know you probably know all of this stuff but I wanted to restate my point more clearly. Thanks for your comments.
