Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
if no one shows strength I just bet until I'm raised [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
you'd be surprised how many times you pick it up at the flop, turn and even the river. probably works best short handed, but I still think it's better than check/folding after you showed strength preflop. you even win pots with A high in these situations. happened to me twice yesterday

Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
In response to his post i know where he is coming from. I will fold an AKs on the rag flop as well. in looking at my stats it was a loser before i started doing this, now dont get me wrong any possibility of flush or draw or even a pair and i chase it but to hold on with just AK?? Can some one quantify why this is a mistake? is calling one bet per round +EV?
thanks sweave1

Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
i do own the book and assume you are refering to page 224 and it states "over cards prefer few opponents" which is rare at micro limits which average 4-8 players. So can you quantify the rule in some form?

In all fairness, folding AKo on a raggy flop after it's checked to you because you'll give your hand away if you bet an Ace or King that comes on the turn, is the most stupid poker-related thing I have ever heard.

Re: I don\'t want to Hold\'em
No no absolutely true if checked we see the turn not fold but if bet is it really EV+ to see 2 more cards at BB rate to try to draw out. SSHE says it is but my stats differ. just looking for some #'s to justify the play set out by the book.
