Frequently. Pot odds might require you to. Often you do it as a semi-bluff. I think you must have some fundamental mis-understanding of poker to ask that question.

Yeah, not to be a jerk, but, ding.

Not a regular poster here and only an occasional lurker (benefited greatly from forums when learning 6-max limit.) But don't you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of 2+2? He asked a question. Given the limits he's playing, it's safe to assume he legitimately need an answer. While you should be commended for providing him with one, is the condescending remark necessary? If the question is beneath you to answer, don't.

This forum is for explaining more advanced concepts than pot odds. If that's truly where he is in his poker development (and we were all there at one point) then this is the wrong place for the question.

It appears that he must have a semi-decent idea that there are books out there explaining basic poker concepts. I am assuming he has read at least one of these books. Thus there is a fundamental misunderstanding somewhere.

Not trying to be condescending, trying to be truthful. No one on these forums is going to sugar coat anything for anyone. If people can't handle being told the straight truth then 2p2 is not the place for them.

If you truly are in the place in your poker development that your responses indicate, perhaps you should be posting in the High Stakes forum. Of course, maybe I have a fundamental misunderstanding about poker, too.

Fine, fill the forum up with questions that are answered in any poker book ever written. I really don't give a [censored].

Beats filling it up with this kind of post. It's real simple. If you don't like a topic, just ignore it and move move on. There is no need to be rude to someone with a genuine question.

I showed two situations where it's perfectly good to go in on a draw and then suggested the OP might want to investigate why this was not obvious to him. I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.
