Default A defense of the preflop call (SSHE)

OK, I may be too wedded to Ed's preflop recommendations these days, but this looks like your average loose Party 3-6 game. And we're told the table seems pretty loose.

I think the critics may be giving up some EV (though probably not a ton) by folding QTo in this spot. FWIW, Ed recommends that a player in a "tight" loose game (READ: less loose than the clown fests at most B&Ms but still an avg of 3-5 players to the flop) call here.

Don't love the flop slowplay. Bet the river (this is still Party Poker) - if you're not going to bet this river, I suspect you shouldn't be playing QTo after all. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
