Re: Defending my $4-$8 Article
"In the $1-$2 structure you are committing 3/4 of a big bet preflop. In a normal structure you are committing 1.5 big bets"
It is a question of pot odds not "committment of big bets". Under the circumstances outlined, in the $1-$2 game there would be $17 in the pot and it costs you $4 to call so your pot odds are 17-to-4. In a $4-$8 game, if you called for $4 behind an early limper, the next guy raised to $8, another guy made it $12, everyone folded to you including the limper, there would be $34 in the pot and it would cost you $8 so your pot odds are 34-to-8 which is also 17-to-1.
