Ok having argument with friend

[curtains]

Ok there is a friend of mine who plays sit and gos a lot and I think he's making an unforgivable mistake repeatedly and I want to prove to him that it's completely absurd the way he is playing.

Basically if he has 22 in a low limit sit and go, and 3 people limp for 15, he will fold. Who here thinks its okay, and who here thinks its completely ridiculous?

this is awful.

edit- not even close, nothing more to be said, etc. its just awful.

[Sabrazack]

Folding this is just stupid :P

He is obviously saving chips for fold equity later.

I'm not sure that the opinions of a bunch of 2+2 posters is going to "prove" this if he doesn't believe it already. I don't like it, but I'm not sure that I'd say it's completely ridiculous. Does your friend play super tight early in general? From this description it sounds like he does. Does he play against a fairly regular, astute group who might notice this? If so, then the implied odds for him hitting his set are probably good but not great. While he's probably still giving up some EV here, it's conceivable to me that with a super-tight style in a good game he can't play this hand as profitably as some.

EDIT: I missed the key phrase low-limit. That makes it much worse.

Hes playing low limit sit and gos against huge idiots on PartyPoker.

I don't know if it's 'completely ridiculous' but it's definitely a bad fold.

I've heard that LL strategy is to fold anything below 5's in cases such as this, because you start out with so few chips, so I'd say it's not really wrong, But I SURE a hell call there.

Hell, I might raise for value! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
