Re: Maximizing the chance to win a huge pot
I will take what may be a contrarian view here...
The way the raises went into this pot could not have been more frustrating to anyone who wanted to see the flop for 1 more bet. In fact, it looks like collusion from the surface. I think the "fit or fold"ers may very well bail when the cost to see the next card goes up again on the flop.
If you reduce the field by 2 or 3, you are significantly improving your equity in the pot. In addition, your raise is profitable even in a 2 way split pot.
I saw a post from Ed Miller a day or so ago, I would really like to hear his perspective on this one. At the very least, I would be interested in a reference in SSH or others that really speak to this subject. It is likely so rare that it receives little mention.
