Default Re: Pre flop equity situation

Looks like you are trying to justify super LAG limit play in a crazy game.

The whole idea behind speculative (implied odds) hands is that you want to see the flop for as cheap as possible.

Let's say you call in your scenario and the flop comes up 662. Now what do you do? You are stuck paying off anyone holding 22 and anyone holding a 6 with a better kicker. Even if the board ends up being 662 5 7, you are still paying off someone holding 67 or 77!

The reason that the game you described is called "juicy" is that the FISH will call 3 bets cold on the button with 65s, not you.

If you haven't read Ed Miller's Small Stakes Hold'em, you should definitely pick up a copy. It is worth its weight in gold.
