Is this PF good/bad?

4/8 at Ventura last night. It's a full killpot hand.

Table is typical 4/8: pretty loose, average aggression.

SB is the kill. Two or three calls around the table, I'm OTB with J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Guy in the killpot to my left seems passive enough to check his live kill most of the time. Is this hand playable here? I ended up calling, hitting a flush draw and chasing it down. Not taking results into consideration, I'm wondering if my PF call was good.

As long as everybody sucks, I'd call.

I don't think it matters if it was full or half kill, at least I was trying to convince myself of that.

I think it's a fold with two bad limpers, a very marginal call with 3 bad limpers and a passive killer, and a profitable call with a 4th bad limper in front of you. One pretty decent limper in here and I flee like Bambi from the hunters. The distinction between 2, 3 and 4 comes down to implied odds. If the killer were at all aggro, you have to fold it even with 4 in, you won't get the right implied odds to play it.

Well, if you're going to flop a flush draw and miss the flush, obviously fold preflop (har har). Jokes aside, I would fold. With a kill pot, your implied odds are cut down, and in a regular pot, I would've folded anyways, but that's just me.

yes its a call but i hate kill pots ^^ so id fold

deffinite fold, what is a kill pot???

[Qwijibo]

Kill pot is when someone wins two hands in a row. That person posts the "kill", or one big bet in lieu of a blind. The betting for each round is double what it would normally be. In this case, the hand would play like a 8-16 hand.

[phosix]

really weird. is that mandatory for that person to do that and is that if they just happen to be in the blind????

Just wondering how did you come to these numbers. Did you do any calculations or something?

imo, this is a situation where your winrate is n't going to affected very much eitherway so do whatever is more fun...
