Re: 5/10 6-max - keep firing?
Thanks for the responses. Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, it just didn't occur to me that there was a separate shorthanded limit forum.
My opponent thought for a long time on the river, then called with AA. On the turn he also took quite a while. In retrospect, the fourth heart probably helped me.
I decided to stay stubborn because he didn't have a Jack. Period. He doesn't, I represent one, and I keep at it because my odds are getting better and better. But then again, as soon as he calls the threebet he's pretty much committed to not believing me. Oh well.
I don't usually play this way, it's not exactly my standard line. I was just wondering about the concept of pot odds for my bluff - is it worth it to continue if your opponent has already called bullshit on an earlier street?
In NL, it often isn't, because you're laying yourself bad odds if you keep firing decent-sized bets. My first instinct was to fold to the flop raise. But then I decided what the hell, let's give it a shot.
As for playing 1/2 instead.. I really hope I won't have to start THAT low on the ladder.. I'm doing pretty well playing 10/20 NL right now, and it's just not worth it to me to improve my limit game if it takes that much time.
But hey, so far I'm still a liitle up playing 5/10.. I'll allow myself a grand or so, if I lose that I'll reconsider.
