Default Re: The hardest spot in micro stakes poker? JJ from the SB

Chomp ... I've had this argument before (tho I'm not digging up the jonyy thread)


I do not like getting fancy for the sake of 'value' oop.

EV wise it might not matter a lot whether you do one or the other, you claim to be getting value ... but you're also giving free cards and must expect to call two bets most likely ... sometimes an ace will be there .. sometimes KK ... sometimes AhKh



My main concern is simplicity ... by checking you open up a pandoras box .. but betting 7$ you effectively end the hand (at least til you start noticing that he is a floater), it is pure it is simple and honestly, it is not where you find great EV.


But what it does is making you play wierdly and tricky oop, which in my experience develops and suddenly you find yourself playing many types of hands wierdly etc.

This is a RR's pot, which means cbetting is cheap and quickly can show a profit. Keep it simple .. holla!
