Why you wouldn't use the normal 3BB + 1BB for each limper rule in this hand? Is it the number of callers?

I think the preflop raise is ok. The flop is very scary but a contibet seems ok in position. On the turn you have the nutflushdraw and a gutshot, while against QJ you are drawing dead. I wouldnt fold the turn. Even if u loose u have enough chips to continue.

you have to push pf b/c there is plenty of dead money in the pot to make coinflipping OK and raising + c-betting= pot committed which, as shown here, is bad.

Preflop:
Push, and pick up the pot right away.

Flop (in your case):
c/f, but c-betting also seems ok.

Turn (in your case):
Pot commited. Call and pray.

doc : 200 is not "plenty of dead money" when your stack is 2800ish.

effective stacks are ~1900 though and the biggest stack of all the limpers is much smaller, and thats most likely where any callers will come from

[thehun69]

Why is there such a need to gamble on a coinflip this early on? Blinds aren't much of a factor here, there isn't THAT much money in the pot, yes, check folding sucks and is weak, but losing the majority of your stack sucks worse.

THE HUN.
