Default Re: I Still Can\'t Do It : 77 UTG

Your call on the turn isn't a losing play.

I did the math in my head several times yesterday and walked thru all the numbers just this morning with someone else. I'm fairly confident I can't make money on the turn here.

Playing a small pair up front in an 80-160 game is.

You'll have a hard time convincing me that me opening with 77 from 5 off the Button is a losing play in games like this. Filtered for: Not a Blind, 88-66, 4-6 off the button, Raised first in, I get +0.51 BB/hand, which is a very significant profit. I definitely pick my spots, as 88 accounts for 68% of those; 77, 27%; and 66, 4%. The game I was in was very much like the current 30's online, except with one tight'ish player replaced with a tighter player per table. That or any other slight difference is not going to make up for what was a significantly profitable preflop situation.
