Default Let Me Clarify Something...

So it seems as though your mission has to be to make 210 bucks or so to justify your preflop call.

No offense, Foxwoods, because you aren't the only one in the thread to say this, but this is one of the most ridiculous ideas I've EVER seen propagated on this forum...

I cringed when I read it the first time and should have said something then. But now that I've seen it again, I felt obligated to say something.

Briefly, here's the problem. This ain't limit poker. The whole 7-1 or whatever rule doesn't apply. There are several reasons for this; I'll let people figure them out for themselves. But, here's the thing. Even if it did apply (which again, it CERTAINLY does not), you wouldn't have to win seven times your preflop investment EVERY time. It would be an average. Your goal when flopping a set should not be to win $210. It should be to double-up.

Sorry to make an example out of you, but it needed to be said... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
