Default Re: Party 2-4

Jon, you are way better at math than I am, but I think you are falling victim to one of my biggest mistakes when I play bad -- trying to win pots, not money. LET the loose fish who called with (3A)7 take the pot away from me on fourth when he pairs his door and my split tens don't improve. It's a tiny pot. And I'll have chances to later to find spots to isolate him, even in a loose game.

There's one assumption that's radically wrong in your post -- when I pair my door card I WILL get called, often in two places, even though I double bet. The fact that my opponents do make lots of calling errors is exactly why I limp hands like these. So far, the 2-4 is a real call fest -- as I said at the top, I won two roughly 25BB pots last time I played, when I made pretty obvious flushes against crap for my opponents and got called all the way down in multiple places.
