Default Re: Defending my $4-$8 Article

Note that in a post below, I asked Mason under what conditions would you call a double raise from behind after simply limping in. Dynasty answered that it was correct with a pocket pair but probably wrong with a suited connector like JT suited or a hand like KQ offsuit. Mason stated that this was the correct answer. Well, if this is right, then it seems that Dynasty has contradicted himself by now claiming that it is clearly wrong to fold a suited connector when faced with a double raise and only two opponents.

This does not fully follow, as the implied odds are quite different in the two situations. In the situation with the full size blinds, you are calling two SB when you call a double raise. In the situation with the small blinds, you are only calling one SB. Granted, the pot odds are the same, but the implied odds are much more attractive in the latter case. This effect is exactly the same effect as one sees when it is correct to limp for half a bet in the SB, but then fold to a BB raise.
