Default Re: FW 20 I Raise(Hand Against Myself)

[ QUOTE ]
As far as preflop, I don't think the limpers ever fold in a 20 game and prefer a call allowing me to manipulate the pot a little better postflop when I like the flop.

I know this is common logic on this forum but i honestly don't get it. When you 3-bet pf you collect on your equity from each bet that goes into the pot. If you expect everybody to call (including BB), that is 4 more sb's than just calling. So if you have 27% edge in 5-way pot then you gain .35 sb every single hand.

What types of manipulations are you gonna make postflop that are gonna guarantee you .35 more sb in the long run? The fact that you are oop makes manipulating anything even harder imo.
