Re: Biiiiiiig Pot, Ed Miller scenario

Preflop is standard, but you need to raise and reraise this flop for value. Yes, anyone with an 8 or a 5 has a full house draw, and someone could already have it, but boohoo. We stand to win well over our 20% share (5 players in when the action is to us), so we definitely need to pump this draw.

The pot is so huge already that I would raise right off the bat. One poster suggested call, three-betting, which I think is second best. However, if the player on the flop lead out with a pp, it would be real nice to get AX to fold behind us and pick up a couple outs. If they all cold call, cap, behind you, your nut flush draw is plenty of equity for that to be ok. In a big a pot, I think you have to be more aggressive in this spot on the flop. The attitude of "keeping your customers" is very often incorrect in this spot.
FWIW, I think it's a bad limp in MP1 unless the table is very loose passive or if all three limpers limped infront of me. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
