i get red jacks on the button with ~4 limpers before me. i just call.

You might be able to make this argument with 2 players limping in, your in the SB with a BB that always plays and the players are tough. And I thinly stress might.

i felt there was more value in deception
I should dig up the post were Mason set me straight on this one.

to summarize:

Hi Slavic-
Against players who play to loose and go to far with their hands, deception is wasted.

Thanks,
Mason


turn is 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] checked to me. i check.

You have to bet this. You can not let people draw for free to the 4th [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. They will pay to draw to it, some even dead to your J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Worse yet you can't let an offsuit A K or Q have a free draw.

In general in this style of game you could drop all the fancy stuff, play ABC poker and make a killing. Yes the good players in the game will avoid you but the bad players make up for it 10 fold.
