Default Re: I bet everyone will be focused on PF...

I don't have much of a problem with preflop. I very nearly limped the exact same hand yesterday when it was two posters and a limper to me on the button.

I'm not convinced, though, by Grunch's argument about waiting for the turn in this case. Sure, a flush card is sad times, but it doesn't completely ruin your day. You have a redraw to the boat. A K makes you puke, yes, but there are only 3 (at best) of those left in the deck. An A doesn't necessarily ruin your day, because AK and AQ extremely unlikely hands, and A7 isn't all that probable, either. The only hands you really need to be worried about currently are K7 and an unlikely 77.

I'm seeing a whole lot of people trapped for extra bets on the flop, and, while I see that there are turn cards that are bad for hero, I don't think there are nearly enough to warrant passing up on a ridiculous amount of value here.

I'm cold calling instead of folding that river. The pot is just too big, and your hand is too strong.
