Default Re: Too tricky for low stakes?

Yes, even though you're showing 2-3-4, they're going to put you on a low hand or a low draw, most likely not a made straight, and they're obviously both going high. Neither one is folding to your raise; they figure you're simply pumping a 3-way pot with the expectation to win half.

[/ QUOTE ]I think this is key. What do your opponents think you are doing? You can't bluff at these stakes often, anyway, in this game. You can never get anyone off a high hand if you look like you have a lo hand. Few lo hands are straights, and as a rule, no one will assume you have one.

I don't know if you ever have the odds to call 3rd with a mediocre hand, anyway. No expert, however.
