Default Re: Hero folds?

Nice. I make one post drunk, then come back and do a sober one with some hard math and which one do you respond to?

odds are the original bettor calls with his 2-8 outer so we still gain at least the other bb from him and i'm sure he'll pay off a river bet with a worse ace most of the time.

And you can't get that river bet if you call?

if you don't think a 6bb pot is worth protecting against as many as 6-14 cumulative outs i'm not the only one who needs to "rethink my math".

It might be when one person was the one holding all of those outs. It's not when those outs are coming from 3 people put together. Also, your opponents never have 14 outs worth of equity, ever. They couldn't have that many if you handpicked their ranges which I thought I already demonstrated above.

and Xhad, this all started when BBB said raisefolding the turn was "horrible". my REAL point was that it wasn't horrible and in some instances preferable.

I might respect your argument if it were from a value angle; from the looks of it IF we're ahead we have around 80% equity at the worst. "Let's protect from 2-outers" is not an argument for raising though.
