Default Re: ($27) Raise size question

The sad fact of the matter is with players betting and calling 80 into a ~500 pot, you're likely not stacking anywhere here or extracting many more chips anyway which is a bit sad. That's one reason why calling that preflop raise isn't necessarily a good idea.

I knew the SB was coming with any two. I figured that with 2 callers, the EP limpers would be strongly tempted to come along as well... if say only one of them calls and the BB folds I'm calling 80 to win 260 in a 4 way pot with position. That means I need to win about ~440 more in a 4 way pot every time to make it correct.

Plus since this is a Turbo, it's a big mistake to fold too much.

Oh I get the rationale. I don't think many people think about why one should fold it though.
