Re: 5CD: Embarrassing Confession

Last night, PL 5CD 2/4. UTG limps, everyone limps. I'm in the SB and call with 77xxx. UTG draws one, but the button stands pat.

UTG has the button covered, and they both get into a raising war...

Re: 5 Card draw: Aces and four to a flush - what to do?

No.1: Keep the aces. You've got two of the three options beaten, and in the event you're behind to 2 pair, you're 4-1 to improve.

No.2: I'd still draw three because I want to give myself the best...

Re: PS down?

It sounds like something on PS's end. I haven't been able to connect to anything more than the lobby for the last 12-plus hours, and my email to support, which I sent over two hours ago, has yet to...

Lobby comes up, but connection can't be established. Was that way last night and still is today.

Re: Folding pat hand?? 3/6 5cd

The button's play makes no sense. He cold calls a raise, then caps when you make it three bets. If he truly has a pat hand, what's he gaining by cold-calling/standing pat?

That he's playing with...

Re: Bet sizing in PL 5CD

Don't mini-raise pots with "good" hands.

Let's say you're UTG with kings up, the game is 1/2 and you raise to $4. The button and SB call. There's $14 in the pot, giving the BB 7-1 odds -- easily...

Re: Appropriate draw play?

Easy fold, and from the SB as well.

From the BB, at 2.75-1, it's not as bad as it is from any other position because you could pair your ace and that might be the best hand.

Implied odds don't...

Re: 5CD: i play 20k hands, now what? move up, or multi-table?

What we need for 5CD to explode in popularity is a televised final table on ESPN of a yet-to-be-instituted $2,500 PL draw event at the WSOP.

Until then ....

Re: You know you might be a 5CD fish when ...

Methinks I worded this poorly.

Once the villian, ie fishy, sees that I'm drawing 1 out of the blinds, there's absolutely ZERO reason for him to hold a kicker with his AAKxx hand. He's clearly...

Re: Limit 5CD-Standing Pat

The only time I stand pat-bluff is when I've accidentally raised pre-swap with trash and AM NOT RERAISED. Since I never stand pat-bluff with pat hands, my more alert opponents will fold.

Re: 5 CD (limit) -- Guidelines for drawing w/garbage in BB?
