Default Re: Barron\'s Article.

Just a question based on the theory of this situation.
Baron, according to your article, you are building the pot preflop just to get the odds you need to play post flop. So, if the situation came about where the fellow under the gun raised ($20) and then the pot got reraised ($30) and reraised again ($40) and there were 2 cold-callers all in front of you. Pot is ($185) or 9.25 Big Bets to you. It will most likely get to 12.75 Big Bets before the flop assuming you, the fellow under the gun, and the first reraiser all call.

I am fully a no limit player, so maybe I am completely wrong here, but are you saying that this is also correct call simply because you will be getting great odds after the flop? Here, you are getting 6.375:1 preflop with KQs. In limit is that enough to play KQs anytime? Would it not be better to play 67s to make sure that if you hit your straight you are not likely to be against a set who could draw to a full house?
