Re: 5/10 live button play. QJs

[ QUOTE ] There are some fundamental concepts you seem to be missing there, but other posters who are more eloquent than I can talk about that stuff. This is a very standard raise because we have a large equity edge. [/ QUOTE ] a LARGE equity edge? [/ QUOTE ] Somebody can poker stove this, but 8 handed against 7 limpers (so assuming nobody has JJ+), you've got to have a large equity edge here against their ranges. As a specific example, I plugged this in: http://twodimes.net/poker/?g=h&b=&am...c+6s%0D%0AQc+3c Using those hands (which are totally reasonable holdings I think), you have over 22% equity in an 8 handed pot, plus you have the button! Your "fair share" is only 12.5%, so clearly you are printing money with the raise. When 8 more bets go in, your equity goes up by 1.76 bets. |

Re: 5/10 live button play. QJs
I'd be raising this in the blinds as well against this many opponents; even though OOP I'm thinking the equity edge makes up for this.
