Default Re: More Fun in Big Pots

I can see what you are getting at, since if button raises and UTG indeed gets poker, he should be 3-betting 100% of the time and with only BB in between, it could knock out everybody else which would be HUGE for our equity and very much +EV

we need a player on the button who understands the importance of knocking out players in bigg ass potts

I'm a big fan of plays like this, but this situation sounds hopeless. It seems like we're doing nothing more than providing ourselves with an excuse for committal. I would follow Andy's advice and check to see what happens.

The real question is, are we calling 2 cold when the button bets, UTG raises, and everyone sponges in between? We should for immediate odds based upon hand ranges that leave only JJ destroying us, but what about all the possible action behind us? We are potentially putting in 5 bets again on the flop to see the turn, to make a counterfeitable hand.
