imo, the unique thing about limit poker is that, in reality, all hands (except the unbeatable nuts) are essentially draws until all 5 cards are dealt. For example, you have black TT, someone has KhQh, and another has A9. the flop is 9h3h2s. who is charging who in this spot?

whoa.... this is very deep

The answer is that KQs is charging both players, but TT has an equity edge against A9, so TT is benefitting from the 3 way action. If it gets HU, TT becomes a money dog, but may benefit from KOing A9, depending on the pot size.

this true. another beautiful poker phenomanom occurs when a 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] falls on the turn. at least in terms of "who's charging who" at that point.

KQ still has more than a third of the deck, and should put his carkeys in the pot if both will match
