three hands against one maniac

[mike l.]

hand 3: "Just too many ways to get turned or rivered."

but so many more ways to win the pot with my pair of 6s. not putting in a lot of bets with my hand here against someone willing to competely overplay as little as one overcard is an error.

Maybe this is weak tight thinking, but if she'd go 12 bets with a single overcard on a 632 board, doesn't that make her call of your flop 4 bet pretty scary?

[mike l.]

"but if she'd go 12 bets with a single overcard on a 632 board"

how can someone know for sure if she would, but im saying that she might. as much as some of you will try to insist otherwise, my read of this player was solid and if she kept going i wouldve kept going and i wouldve been right to.

[/ QUOTE ] I guess that explains why you posted the hand.

The contrarian point (which isn't valid, of course) is that you aren't that far ahead of a random hand that someone exercising even a wee bit of judgment (like stopping after 4 bets with a random hand) isn't doing badly if you'll go 12 bets when they are even just a bit stronger.

"you aren't that far ahead of a random hand"

so on a board of 632 with 64 against a random hand im not far enough ahead to want to get a lot of money in? can you show your work please?

Your editing destroys what I said.

You are nearly 7:3 against a random hand, ie, better than 2:1.

[mike l.]

ok let's start over then. i didnt understand what you said.

for starters you said:

"The contrarian point (which isn't valid, of course)"

and i assumed you were being sarcastic. were you?

"not putting in a lot of bets with my hand here against someone willing to completely overplay as little as one overcard is an error."

It's hard to have only one overcard on that board. Anyway, there's no reason to post a hand if you're playing against a player who will put in eleven bets with one overcards.

I guess what I'm saying is that there is reason to overplay some hand if your opponent will put in twelve bets on the flop with a pair of sixes.

[mike l.]

"Anyway, there's no reason to post a hand"

yeah im realising that more and more thread after thread.

[shemp]

This is twice in the same thread you've twisted someone out of context. I assume it's simply being carelessness/inconsiderate, and I ask that you be more careful.
