thanks bruin...i agree that with the looseness you typically find at these stakes, you'll usually get a chance to repop if you limp in EP.

What did you think of Largay's chapter on Expectation? On page 61, in the example where you've flopped broadway and are deciding on how much to bet, Largay factors in the amount of the pot to get the total amount you stand to lose. He says: "Four times you would lose the $10 you bet plus the $10 that was already in the pot and yours for the taking if you had [pushed all in] on the flop, for a total of $20."

Based on everything I've read by Sklansky on EV, this seems flawed. The pot is never "yours for the taking," right? I mean, you're not supposed to add the current pot into the EV calculation as something you stand to lose, are you?
