Re: Another preflop pot odds post
[ QUOTE ]
erc,
It's funny: if the shortstack had folded, I would be out of there without much thought. But since he didn't, I thought about calling, even though it costs more. The thing that might swing this toward a call (and it's not a sure thing by any means) is that people play sooo bad in side pots. Folding second pair, checking big hands multiway, and a bunch of other little things that I'm sure you've noticed. I think there might be more value here than just from the preflop odds (I should've mentioned that in the thread title.)

I understand your points about the attractive odds + the fact that people play badly in dry side pots, but you're OOP with a very marginal hand and no opp to semi-bluff. All things considered, i don't think the postives outweigh the inherent negatives/limitations.
