The sexy is the new trifecta
 

They both suck EV-wise, but they are fun, especially against dickheads, and so we will all lose lots of bets trying to make them happen.

PS-sometime this morning I got pooh bah status, so Im stopping my posts under this name and starting over under a new identity.

Re: The sexy is the new trifecta
 

Wrong. It is +EV.

3/4 of the topics on the first page of HUSH right now contain the word "sexy" thanks for adding another one [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I don't think the sexy is -EV when used properly. I've only whiffed a few times, and some of those wouldn't have called a bet anyway.

Example of +EV sexy:
Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP calls, Button calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP folds, Button calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (7.75 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls.

Whil the trifecta attempts are usually -EV, sexy's are +EV under the right circumstances. The bet/call, bet/call, check/bet/raise is a better line than the bet/call, bet/call, bet/call against many aggressive value bettors.

The sexy is getting way too much airplay. It's a good line and a good name... but...

actually sexy is the new float
 

or the hush version of float.
