Re: fun with people who call anything
Ok here's what I was thinking. My preflop raise is just giving them better odds to draw, making their asinine pulls more correct (or less incorrect).
However, I don't think the preflop raise is necessarily the problem with this hand. If I had limped in and then raised the flop, the cold calls would be really bad. But because I raised preflop, the cold calls on the flop weren't as bad. For example, the SB calling with the gutshot draw on the flop was getting 8.5:1 in the hand the way I played it, but would have only been getting 5:1 (probably 5.5:1) if I had not raised preflop.
Since I did raise preflop, I think waiting until the turn to raise would have been the better play. It's likely the flop bettor would bet again on the turn, allowing me to raise and charge the draws that much more.
Basically it's all about manipulation of the pot size. Nonsense or not?
