Mirage 10-20: What to do in a capped pot preflop

[bad beetz]

you are wise in the art of pot-building. The bigger the pot, the more money you can win.

Is this a joke or no? Even if everyone enters the pot how can you possibly be getting the best of it?

[bad beetz]

I think you shouldn't even look at your cards. I would call with any two cards in this situation. How can you fold with all the money in the pot. One advantage of not looking at your hole cards in this spot is that you don't have to debate whether you should raise or call. With a random hand against players that have raised and reraised ahead of you, you probably don't have the best hand. In this case you are drawing and you need as many players in as possible with a drawing hand. The best play is to simply call.

you had 7 3.RAISE I mean double down.You were playing blackjack right?? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

While this is a close call, I would not play.

7-3 off suit is only playable if the cards are the same color, either both black or both red.

This will be included in my forthcoming book, hopefully to be published by 2+2 (I'm hoping their spellchecker works).

whats important here, (i think someone else mentioned it) is that you have TWO flush draws

People tend to overvalue suited hole cards. Just think about it for a second, what gives you a better shot at winning, TWO flush draws, or one?

Also since they aren't connectors, you have multiple straight possibilities.

Add to that the bluffing opportunities in a tight game like this, and its an easy call.

I'd say maybe even semi bluff raise here, you have outs, PLUS there is a chance you pick up the pot right there with your raise in such a tight game.


Best of luck, let us know how it goes.
