Default Re: Can -EV gambling be fun even if you understand EV?

LOL.

Everyone stays in, more people suck out.

Here's one example:

I have AA, the one other guy that can play has KK. We are re-raising the crap out of each other. PF, Flop, and Turn are capped.

Along the way are 2 calling stations. One of whom has 52o. He flops bottom pair, and rivers another deuce for trip deuces. Calling station bets. Other player and I say "WTF" and here just call, and look at the CS in disgust.

WTF?!?

I dunno - IO can never tell if I'm second best or crushing people in these games.

Raising causes a fenzy of re-raising, but not folding.

Calling just donates more to whoever is going to suck out.

Folding is frequently wrong because of pot odds. These guys are check raising the river with friggin jack high.


Everyone wins about the same, $5 rake makes it -EV.

AHHHHHH!


Maybe I should stick to chess...
