Re: Stars $50 50K...turn set in multiway pot...ugly river...line check
[ QUOTE ]
The reason for raising to t160 is to cut down the field, and for value. It's a pretty standard raise I don't think it turns your hand into a bluff at all, people limp utg level 1 with a wide range of hands, it doesn't mean they have Aces / Kings.
Edit: and obv I'd raise to the same amout with anything I'm raising in this spot (i.e. 3 limpers).
[/ QUOTE ]I suggested a smallish raise for the exact reason you suggested a big one. I absolutely expect to get 5 or more callers with a raise in the 40-80 range and that's what I want...
If you assume I win the pot when I hit a set and only hit a set, it's HUGE +ev to have a bunch of people in a raised pot. Even if I have 0 implied odds, I'm getting the right pot odds to play 7 way and fish for a set. The fact that it's multiway AND raised makes it far more likely that I'll get paid off nicely when I do hit a set.
