I didn't see that original limper folded. I can't figure out how to post pokerstove results, but you have like a 40% edge if the blinds defend kind of loosley and a ~35% if they defend tightly.

Honestly if you are going to pass up a 40% or 35% edge in a four way pot, what's the point?

Edit: Also the drunk maniac is gonna keep betting so you'll be able to face the field with two bets cold anyway.

Because when we get it headsup (and obviously this will only happen part of the time) we have an 80% edge.

Really this all comes down the fact that in the end you will usually end up with more money on average when you reduce the field. Of course jamming the flop is +EV. It really baffles me that people can't see that knocking out draws on the turn in this HUGE pot isn't more important than gaining a couple BB of equity on the flop.

And if we bloat the flop then we are not likely to get villians to fold on the turn no matter what.
