Default Re: Rate me..!

Why do you raise preflop with a good multiway hand? And if you are going to raise, why only 3*BB? Does anyone else have a comment on this?

On the flop I would check and hope for multiway action. As the flop played I would fold (Maybe go allin to try to catch my first royal just for kicks). There is no way villain is folding here, he has two pair or a set. Because of this is he now also drawing to a boat with reduces your pot equity considerably. If you make the push you are paying almost 30$ to try to win a pot of ~70$, that is 42%. If both the Queens for a straight and the flush was clean it would be about EV neutral, but with a boat drawing I think this is -EV

It would turn +EV if it was some chance he would fold here, but I think that is close to 0%

EDIT: I forgot that hero had a little invested already so that changes the math a little, but I still think it's slightly -EV tho. Hehe, maybe worth it just to catch the royal
