Re: Use of the word Metagame in poker context
So to use as an example: Holding 56s you raise from CO, the button calls. Flop comes 8 T 2 Rainbow, you bet 2/3rds pot. Button calls, turn comes a 5, you bet 2/3rds pot, button calls. River comes an Ace and you go all in. Button calls and you lose to A T.
5 hands down the road you take the same line with the nuts, knowing that the guy won't believe you. That is Metagame.
Another example would be raising from UTG with Q8o and showing it. This type of behavior can get other people to think you are a maniac.
But I agree that metagame is pretty useless at the micros.
