Moving In With Deuces

[La Brujita]

the payout structure creates a disconnect between cev and $ev.

[TheDreamer]

You don't like money.

[tedtodd]

...unless you've pushed over the BB every chance you've had.

[diebitter]

- you instead raise to $40, and you intend to shove whatever flops.

(my gut tells me this is +EV compared to the $90. I could be way off, but can't be bothered to work it out)

a raise $9.23 will do the trick 62.3% of the time.

[betgo]

Is raising to 3xBB, calling a reraise, and pushing any flop better? It might look stronger and get more fold prelop. Also, you might get postflop folds with the go and go.

You could also complete with the idea of getting the money in if you are raised and making a play for the pot on most flops. I don't care for this line with deuces though.

Oh!

...unless making a smaller raise will fool your opponent into thinking you have a monster, and he will fold some hands that have you crushed that he would call a push with (like, say, 33-77).

[shaundeeb]

I think diebitter was dead on, unless the BB is likely to call a 3bb raise and fold to a flop shove without a pair or solid draw/

[RandALLin]

Unless a deuce was exposed!

[NoahSD]

I have a few:

...unless the payout structure and stacks are extreme (i.e., on the bubble of a one-table tourney.)

...unless villain's nitty enough to make raise/folding correct (He'd have to be really nitty with that ante and everything).

...unless raising some other amount has more FE for weird reasons.
