Default Re: A new trick for your arsenal

I'll speculate that your anger is caused by a vague feeling that this play must be horrible poker, but you're frustrated because you can't quite exlain why, so instead you take shots at me, feeling that "discrediting the source" will somehow vindicate you. Close?

Far far away. I have repeatedly said why this play sucks without 'discrediting the source' it's just that you kept on relating my 'side wager' to the pot when they aren't related at all.

My side wager was to show that you can't be confident even Kx will fold. If you wouldn't offer me a 4:1 bet that KQ would call, then you understand at least 1 in 5 unknowns will call down with Kx, which massively increases the range of hands that will cost you money.

A,x, 22 - kk, 56 67 68 6q 6k, kq kj kt - k2 will all call you down here. While you are risking 3sb to win a 7sb pot, not 16.

Then you also have the 0.5bb you risk and give up when the bb calls about 30% of the time because he has overcards to the 6.
