Re: 68s monster pot
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] normally, i'd raise no less than 89s there. [/ QUOTE ] lol [/ QUOTE ] lol? nice response. well thought out. so you dispute that we have an equity edge in the CO with 89s versus 5 bad, loose live limpers? so you dispute that it's not worth buying the button for the extra sb pf? and possible get a free card on the flop? i'm not sure because all i read was "lol". [/ QUOTE ] It's a marginal raise.Personally, I think this style of play just isn't practical though for live players. Live players should try to minimize their variance while not sacrificing significant edges. That way, you can have a more steady income, and move up aggressively in limits. Even small increases in your hourly standard deviation have huge effects on your bankroll requirements. Personally, I like being able to play with 200bb and a 2% risk of ruin. If you don't really care about that stuff, then raising can be fine, but there are also strategic drawbacks to it. Namely, when you flop a medium strength hand (which is what you will flop most of the time), you will be in a lot of trouble for 2 reasons: 1. You will be unable to protect your hand 2. You will be tied onto the pot, forcing you to draw to what may easily end up being a 2nd or 3rd best hand I'll admit that I don't have a method for quantifying the pros and cons of playing a larger pot in this situation with this hand versus these opponents. Certainly, there is value to getting a free card on the flop, and buying the button, and I think your equity should be fine so it is a play that should be considered at least some of the time. [/ QUOTE ] thanks for expanding on your original post snowball. before i respond, i would like to know: what's your CO PFR range with 5 loose limpers? |
