Re: hold\'em Ev NO LIMIT
Dear Santa:
What I'd like for Christmas is an explanation of Doyle's preference for suited 87, 76 and 54 in NL.
I suppose if once upon a time nobody played a hand that did not have at least a 10 kicker, it would make some kind of sense, assuming you could see the flop cheaply.
Then again, if after the flop you've got a flush draw and the players with the big pairs (or even made sets that are not high in ranks) are afraid of the board, NOT because of theflush potential, but because bigger cards are showing which could have given someone else a better hand , AND they keep limping you might be able to take them on the turn or river if you do make the flush (AND betting pattern indicated no one held AKs in the same suit).
similarly for straights. That's a lot of ifs, but it could pay off handomely if rarely.
What do you think, Santa?
