Re: Learning at Party 1/2 - is this good or LAG?
Preflop: I disagree that ATo can only be raised preflop if first to act, but that is another discussion. I generally hate calling with ATo no matter how many opponents. Either I am raising to isolate/narrow/buy the button, or I am folding this marginal multiway hand (usually the first choice, but I'm LAGgy) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I think this turn card is a must-raise. People that are advocating calling down because the board paired (3rd pair!) are playing way too scared and allowing the button to get a cheap river card on his likely drawing hand would be a mistake. I felt I was, worst-case, chopping with the SB and probably ahead of him here.
On the river: People call one more bet with all kinds of crap. Some decide you were bluffing the whole way and calling one more with king high, a queen will call, 88 may be stubbornly hanging around. This is a definite value bet.
