Default Re: ($11) First hand and everyone is limping

it may be 15 for 135, but what are the odds u'll hit a playable hand?

u need nut-straight or a boat...u can play a set or 2pair as well, tho beware

too many people in the pot...not worth it...



for perspective, pokerstove did an analysis of when it's ok to play unsuited connectors...

0-gap: sb with 5 limpers
1-gap: sb with 6 limpers
2-gap: unplayable
3-gap: unplayable

only 3.8% of flops will fit, according to pokerstove, and you'll win 53% of those hands

you need 60-1 odds to call 3-gap unsuited

12:1 for 0gap
15:1 for 1gap
20:1 for 2gap

hand % flop % win combined
high card 0.00 0.00 0.00
one pair 0.00 0.00 0.00
two pair 1.69 28.00 0.47
trips 0.89 61.00 0.54
straight 0.33 73.00 0.24
full house 0.81 92.00 0.74
quads 0.05 99.00 0.05
% pots won 2.04
