I just about always call here, no huge benefits to 3 betting but thats not terrible either.

I am 100% in your camp now. I used to be in the 3-bet of fold camp, I now see that is not optimal - calling is. The buttom is so valuable that I dont mind letting in other players, especially since in 2-7 nobody folds pre-1st draw in they have a playable hand.

I'm the same. SSII recommends 3-betting to try for HU action with position, but I disagree. The only place I like to cold call from is the button, and I'll do it with any 2 card 7 draw with a deuce or any 2 card draw to a #5 with a 2 or 3. I don't mind playing the multi way pot with position.

Would like to know what people's Stars screen names are. Mine is obvious.

+1 TT.
my reason is that i usually play .50/1.00, and i'd probably
STILL end up seeing 1st draw multiway, 2 bets or me bumping to 3 bets. 2567x or better, another story.

Ezgo, mine'll be obvious too--same as handle here.

reason u guys ain't seen me much lately:
about 3-4 weeks ago i won a 500 fpp satellite to the sunday million...did the wise thing and cashed to tourney$.
been doing exclusively mtt's and sng's ever since... but it's built up my roll nicely.

Yeah, same here I used to play like in draw high : 3bet or fold, but there actually are a lot of spots where a flat call is much better.

Also its not really true that a raise wont make the blinds fold some weak 2 cards draw like 347 or 368 which they would have played for one bet.

Question to those who 3 bet on the button here 100% of the time. How do you play 238-258. Muck it, 3 bet it? <font color="red">Because if you're always 3 betting 237 and always calling 238, doesn't that become really exploitable? </font>

i have more of a hit-n-run philosophy for 2-7... if you're at a table long enough to be exploited by this, you may have been at that particular table too long

kinda hard for the 30/60'ers since you play the same people day in and day out.
