Either I'm sleep deprived to the point of being hysterical, or that is far and away the funniest fukcing post I've ever seen on this forum.

(probably the former, but I had to take a minute to recover after reading that.)

So you're telling me that just knowing SB is a fish, CO is calling stuff down, and BB is very straightforward, I can put all these people on a very small range of hands?

I respectfully disagree. If the people in this forum could do that, our W@SD would be 90 and our WTSD would be 11.


Also, no player was drawing dead on the turn. 40/42 cards win for BB, 1/42 win for SB, 1/42 win for button.

Also, how to we know that a straightforward BB isn't raising A4s?

Also, how do you get such specific reads based on one hand at a table?

These reads come from many hands at the table.

I'm saying if you are a thinking player in the CO against these two players, this is what you should be thinking about.

1/42 is basically drawing dead.

When you actually pay attention to a table instead of just using pure stats from pokeredge, you pick up on tendencies like this.

I'm saying you can typically be 75% sure that I have a hand that has you drawing slim on the turn, so raising the river sucks.

aK,

1) Is your read on SB strong enough that you'd fold an overpair on the turn?

2) Is SB donkish enough to realize that his one-pair hand just "improved" to two-pair on the turn?

I don't want to muck it, so I'll raise, hope BB folds, SB can call or fold, and see what the button does.

[imported_The Vibesman]

I'm going to just call the flop. I don't have any need to eliminate opponents, and if SB doesn't come along it's not a value raise.
