Qtip, out of curiosity, why didn't you raise PF?
[/ QUOTE ]
I just hate doing that when it will be 4 handed and I'm going to be oop for the hand.
I'd rather save the bet use it to bet a lot of flops that probably missed people.
That's me, though. I'm listening if someone disagrees.

I think it's close, but I would raise pre-flop.
Since everyone has shown weakness by limping, your hand is likely to be miles away better than the other three. So despite the fact that we might not like a lot of flops, I think we wanna pump it now while our equity is high. And we can still bet most flops.

To say we're "miles" ahead is an overstatement imo. I'm guessing we'd average around 28%-32% equity here, course that's just considering showdown value and discounts the value of initiative.
Of course, we can always raise PF and check on the flop, but I find I have a difficult time doing that. For example, if the flop comes like AJ2r, I find myself always wanting to try to represent the A and taking a shot at the pot. Next think you know only 1 donk calls, and I want to fire again [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
So, I'm sure I do have an equity edge when I'm just putting in 25% of the money here PF (although the edge probably isn't that large), but at the same time I hate being OOP and there are a lot of flops that I don't want to see. Perhaps this is weak thinking.
I guess I'm thinking that pumping this small edge now might hurt me more if I don't play exetremely well after the flop, and I often have a hard time handling myself well with the initiative being oop against a field this size.

Haha, yeah, I felt kinda funny right after typing "miles," especially since I didn't really do the math. But I decided not to go back and delete it, the same way that I don't go back and delete the word "retards" when refering to villains even though they probably aren't actually mentally challenged heh.
And I agree that a big factor would be what you're gonna do post-flop. But Owen I don't think you need to doubt your postflop skills as to whether or not you could handle a juiced pot OOP. Cuz I think you're better than I am, and I don't doubt mine haha.
