Re: Keith Sexton article

In the Kings example, does he really think the queens are going to fold to a raise on 3rd in an online game? this happens maybe 5% of the time. He is just asking for a multiway suckout when 3 people call behind after he smooth calls. Chances are that someone behind or the bring in might call as well as the queens if you raise, leaving you in a nice spot.
EDIT: I just read Perry Friedman's original article about 3rd street and it is about as worthless as they come. Are there a lot of games going on full tilt?

My thoughts exactly on the Kings part, no one folds to a raise on 3rd, so why not get the pot heads up and make your opponent pay.
As far as the games, there is not always a 5/10 game going, but when it is, Im only about breakeven. Im having a problem adjusting to the ante and BI structure. $1 ante and $1.50 BI. Ive only played $.50 ante and $2 BI at this level. Ive been trying to steal more, figuring starting hands have to be a little nicer for people to call on 3rd, but this had back fired. Im gonna tighten up little and see if it helps.
