I love variance.
Full ring game. Blinds are loose. The whole damn table is fishy. 5 players limp to me. I'm on the button holding
A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I raise. Anybody else do the same thing? |

Re: I love variance.
yes, but I'm starting to doubt the value of it.

Re: I love variance.
Depends...Have I been raising pretty tight before this and showing down the goods? If so, then yeah. If I've been getting out of line a bit, and have been caught at it, then prolly not (but if I've been getting out of line, then I might just raise without thinking)

My question is, is this play profitable in the long term against this type of table? |

Re: I love variance.
I think it's just slightly +EV, and thus if my image is such that I can't steal the occasional pot when I miss, then I'm less apt to make the play.

The money comes from the fish hanging in too long on the flops that favour your hand greatly. It's the same with raising small pairs in the same position. |

Re: I love variance.
Agree with the pp's, as postflop play at this level w/pp's is usually pretty simple. With a hand like A3s, there's a good chance of getting into a sticky situation against people who love to limp any A. Are you checking through a flop like A94 rainbow when it's checked to you? What's your play if you bet and are called (I know that there are too many variables to truly give a plan here)? I don't hate the raise in the least bit. For me, I would just like a little bit extra here.

Re: I love variance.
Grunch.
No. I call, trying to draw to the nut flush. (Or I limp/3-bet [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]). I don't put much value in the Ace because every fish who holds one will call and probably have you outkicked. |
