Default Re: Question for NPA - Ed Miller (and any other worthwhile opinions)

Man, I don't like this.

You get stuck on the turn and I might give it up there seeing as there's a good chance your spade wont be good if it hits and it will cost you a bit to find out. When the BB raises the CO on the turn, and the CO raised the flop, that sets off some bells. Yes, it could be a straight, but I think you have to figure that these guys are really cutting into your odds here if they're gonna cost you 4 BB on the turn to draw to a flush.

On the river I think you could consider raising and the folding when it came back capped.

Somehow I don't like calling 8 BB to find out my hand is no good, and there's a good chance on the turn that's what may happen

EDIT -- On the turn, while the pot is 11 BB when it gets to you, this is only like 5.5-1. Frankly, considering the action and what may happen, I don't think this is enough. Though I haven't read Ed Miller's book, I don't see this as the situation he was discussing.
