I'm pretty much speachless.

Why? You don't think playing practically any 2 against this guy in position 125 BB deep will be profitable?

If we first investigate our flush value. The chance of any of the other players having a higher xxdd-combo preflop is 20%. This will mean that when we hit a flush we're just about never up against a lower flush, but about 15% or something like that we're up against a higher flush. We'll flop a flush very rarely. When we flop a fd we'll almost never have aditional value, like overs, gut-shots etc. So the times we flop a fd we can't take much heat, calling a psb-ish flopbet will probably not even have much value. And obv we'll not flop a fd very often.

We have no pair value and about none straight value. If we hit 2-pair (which we do rarely) 62 will only make very vulnerable 2-pairs. When we hit trips (again not often) we might end up with a kicker problem.

This hand just doesn't have much value. Our preflop equity will obviously blow, even vs random-ish hands. And it seems you guys severely overestimates our implied odds.

This hand is junk and calling it just because one guy that has limped is 40/10 sucks. I mean sure he's bad, but not at all awfull. Etc.

minraise! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I like the limp and I play like 20/16. Look for chances to play pots against people who suck!

for those who say "clear fold preflop" would you complete this from the sb in this spot?

why don't we have good IO's

I think you are overestimating your implied odds here. If we had a somewhat strong hand we would be iso raising and auto c betting most flops expecting this villain to fold a ton. If this is the case why do we suddenly think villain is going to go crazy in a limped pot in the off chance that you actually make a strong hand with 62s.

How is pf bad? He's playing against fish who will call too much and will pay off when he hits a big hand. I was reading NLTAP last night and they said in this situation you could play almost any two cards here because of the huge implied odds.

[/ QUOTE ]
Just because villain calls too much doesn't mean he'll always flop something. Like everybody else he'll miss almost 70% of the flops. And even though he's bad he'll obv not call down with any pair the remaining 30%. And then factor in we hit the flop very rarely.

I wrote a whole bunch of things, but this is the only thing that needs to be said.

This is a good point that I hadn't really thought about. I do agree that some are over-estimating our implied odds, but I'd still be willing to bet the limp is +EV even if only marginally so.

PF is fine, not amazing but fine. River is insta shove with fist pump.

Wtf? Preflop is really bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not great, but it's still almost certainly +EV w/ the 40/10 guy limping up front.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all... look at the spot he is in here. What is a better board for his hand than this one? 662? Definitely bad pf.

Yes, this is a great board for our hand, which is why I'm fistpump shoving. PF is fine because against donkeys baby flushes are the nuts.
