I think getting 14 to 1 is plenty to make this a value bet.Not to mention the ridiculous implied odds.

That is not what a value bet is. A value bet is when people calling the bet gains you more profit. I have a ten percent chance of winning this pot assuming no one improves after i do. Thus for my bet to be for value I would need 11 people to call this bet.

My intention is to make sure there is even more money put in on the flop. I.e If it gets checked through to MP3 who bets and button raises, then sb 3 bets then you have to fold, but if you bet and it is all the sudden three bets back to you you are in a different situation. This is a spot where the pot size can be manipulated in your favor.

If putting three bets into this pot on the flop is EV- then betting and calling two is just as bad as calling three cold, do you see why?

[ QUOTE ]
You are about as likely to get a free card in this spot as you are to pick up the pot by betting, so why not virtually ensure that you will have the correct odds to draw instead of hoping.

0 chance of picking up pot or getting free card. Why would I want to ensure I see the turn if the odds may not be correct?
