cold calling 2 more after limping

Scott_Baio · #1 06-22-2005, 01:45 AM

I'm fairly consistant with my pre flop play and wouldn't even think to ask this if someone hadn't been watching me play. I make this fold everytime, but he said it's terrible. What does everyone else do here?

Raise yourself pre-flop and given you didn't you can still call because you can still flop a set in what will certainly be an action pot and are getting an immediate 5-1 which is enough with implied odds.

id call it but i dont know if it is right to do either

I would raise 99 PF here.

I would call here getting 5-1 since UTG did. I would be wary of calling if I suspected CO of capping (LAG).

I'd raise preflop, but its debatable.

I'd make the call, implied odds are good because the pot will be big and people will be tied to it with TPTK. Easy to play post flop; fold if you miss, raise if you hit.

I agree with making the call but I disagree with this. You will flop an overpair a decent chunk of the time and often be faced with a tough decision or two.

I don't understand why everyone thinks raising pre flop is debatable. It's -EV.

Did you mean to type +EV? Limping might be better than raising, but raising is definitely not -EV.

I meant to say limping is -EV.

Well, that's definitely wrong too. Anyone that can't make a profit by limping with 99 in that spot probably can't beat the game.
