In case you guys haven't stopped by the probability forum lately:
From Doyle Brunson's Super System:
"This is the hand I'm looking for when I play No-Limit Hold 'em. Small
connecting cards (suited) - the 7c6c, 8h7h, 5d4d. That's the kind of hand I
want. It's my favorite".

the way i read it, doyle was saying that since he was able to steal so
many pots by drowning his opponents with chips, he was essentially
gambling their money, not his. when he made longshot calls with these
kinds of hands, his implied odds in his mind went way up. if he drew
out, he was going to bust someone for all their chips. if not, it didn't
matter. he could simply steal some more pots to finance another
adventure. so putting in even money on a 3-1 shot, for instance, was
no big deal.
note that if you for some reason can't steal all those pots anymore, this
approach is a loser. which is why, i think, doyle later reported that he
regretted writing the book.
WEll, howabout it???
