Default Re: Hands that Play Better HU in Multi-Way Pots

Depends on the situation I think. if you have something like (KK)A in last position I think you should raise for value on 3rd regardless. You are going to be first to act most of the time on 4th so show strength and just raise 3rd then bet out 4th. If nothing gets too scary you can fire again on 5th and the field should thin considerably in the face of your pressure.
If you have something like Jacks, you may want to just limp and hope you can thin the field later on with a raise. I tend not to give a free card on 4th...I can see how mathematically, you make it incorrect for people to call on 5th by keeping the pot small, but you have to balance that with the lost expectation on 4th. If someone bets early on 4th and there are 4 callers, there really is no point to raise with those Jacks though I would agree....you may not have a big enough equity edge, especially if there are some potential big draws out there.
