I think it's rare that a $2 bet is good, but yes, there's appropriate times. Flopping quads against people vying for Biggest Sucker prize (A high goot?), is one of those good opportunities. [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I've also seen $2 bets effectively used to confuse a passive LP opponent, who probably has the better hand, into just calling $2 instead of betting $5, effectively saving the EP person a few bucks yet still make it to showdown.

That said, I still think $2 bets are mistakes the majority of the time.

I played with a guy once who raised to $7 with AA, $6 with KK, and $5 with QQ. Thanks mister!!!

PS -- Sorry I don't play in the Harvey's tournament so I don't have the info. If it's like the old Bullwhackers one (which it was meant to "replace") then it's a $35 buy-in, two $30 rebuys.

PPS -- Am up for a 2+2 Rocky Mntn get together as long as we don't all end up playing at the same table and beating each other up. [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
