Re: Keeping fishies around
OMG
Ok, HPFAP was written with the assumption that your opponents are good. But even then, they used an offsuit hand as an example. With a good suited hand you give a ton of money by not raising as opposed to the moderate amount you would lose from not raising AJo.
Then you flop a flush, and 3 people will certainly call, and anyone behind you with a club will probably call 2 cold also, but you don't raise because you want to slowplay. Horrible, you lost tons of bets when your opponents were drawing dead.
Then the turn comes, and it's a perfect situation for you even though you slowplayed, no club, no board pair, and you get bet into again. So you raise here, right. No raise? Gag.
Then on the river, of course everybody pussies out because they think somebody has a boat/flush so you miss bets. Also, on the river, the fish don't have some miracle draw to chase, and they can't all have payoff hands, so you dont get those calls either.
