Default Re: 2/5NL live - JTs

(Grunching)

I don't like this swolfe, assuming your opponents are normal live idiots.

1) You're getting great immediate odds. I don't like FPS when you get great drawing odds.

2) You're drawing to the nuts.

3) Idiots don't know how to play side pots. If you hit your hand, I think you will be able to extract a lot of value from the other players.

In this type of situation, the other players will often think you're full of it if you make a big bet, thinking (correctly) that you're trying to isolate the idiot all-in player. Might as well make that big bet on the turn when you hit your hand, and get another player (or more) to come along drawing dead.
