Default Re: HUSNG Assertion: You should never limp.

The issue I have with you logic Collin is that you are not going to get paid properly with 72 off to be properly. What kind of flop are you expecting?

It would have to be a flop that would not only make your opponent call, but be willing to stack off with whatever random hand he has, I think. What do you do exactly, on a flop such a 753? Your opponent bets. Are they betting with middle pair, a draw, a better 7?

What if the flop is say 974 with a possible flush draw. You bet and your opponent calls? Does he have AK, two pair, a nine, an over that he didn't want to raise with, a better 7, or an actual flush draw. What if he really only has 46 but wants to make a play once that flush gets there?

Everything works great in math-land, but the problem with HU is that you need to be able to envision the entire situation before you can make a judgement about the value of your hand.
