Default Re: what i learned today by elysium

This is really bad advice. First, although it will happen sometimes, you can't count on the number of bets you need going into pot when you hit. Too many times your opponents are going to chicken out and go passive on you when you catch. Even worse, the times when you are behind or get outdrawn, though rare, are going to be particularly hard on your bankroll, as you will no doubt be capping every street trying to make up those implied odds.

The math just doesn't work out, even in this large pot which involved multiple players calling 3 cold preflop. To suggest that it would always be right to call here is then, by extension, pure insanity.



I know what you're doing elysium. You've reached the pinnacle of poker. Your game is so good, you can no longer increase your win rate by making your own game better, so you're following the obvious course of action, which is to try to make your opponents worse. My respect has risen to a new high.
