Re: Making the Pot Bigger vs. Keeping it Small?
I guess what I'm trying to ask is does their making +EV plays eat into your already +EV move of taking a big premium hand into a field of bad players.
If you're the 4:1 favorite and by your raise in the BB, some guy has +EV odds to call for a gut-shot, does that eat into your EV on the hand? You're still the favorite and making good money on your hand. Whether or not gut-shot boy has odds to profitably call doesn't really have any bearing on your EV, does it? He's correct in calling and you're correct in betting/raising.
Of course this whole question goes out the window if we're assuming players who are aware of pot odds, but I'm still curious to know about these implications. I'll deal out some hands later tonight and run them through twodimes to see if I can't figure it out.
