Default Re: Basic Theoretical Question

No limit is quite different, because you can control the odds you lay draws, so you can often force your opponent to choose between two possibly incorrect actions -- folding to a bluff/worse hand, overpaying to draw against a hand he's behind.

In limit, there are constantly situations where two or more players can all play perfectly because of pot odds and the limited size of each new bet. However the more players that are in, the less likely that becomes. For example, the guy drawing to a straight against a flush draw and trips would probably fold if those hands showed him what they had. But since he doesn't know (has imperfect knowledge) he will very likely call.
