Re: getting myself into trouble again
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] This isn't good thinking. If your hand is good it's irrelevant whether you bet or not. Your thinking about whether to bet should revolve entirely around the cases where your hand is no good. [/ QUOTE ] What??? This isn't good thinking. Your thinking should not revolve entirely around when your hand isn't good. So, the only reason to bet or not is if as a bluff, and whether you think that bluff will work? [/ QUOTE ] Yes? [ QUOTE ] Betting here is turning your hand into a bluff, you have show down value. However, you have to ask your self how often is 88 not good here [/ QUOTE ] No? [ QUOTE ] and how often will a better hand fold? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. There aren't any hands that are worse than 88 that will call. There's also basically a zero percent chance that you will get bluff checkraised. Given that, whether you bet or not with 88 when it's good is completely irrelevant. Your EV will be exactly the same either way. Given that, when considering how betting will affect your EV, you should disregard all the cases where 88 is good. I don't get how you don't understand this, it seems pretty basic.
