Preflop with 88
I'm multitabling with no HUD. With two limpers plus the two raisers, I figured this would be a 5-6 handed pot. With the two raisers, I figured that postflop may find a bunch of bets thrown into the pot. Therefore, I called. Your thoughts?

Re: Preflop with 88
I don't like it. You really don't know what The EP's will do with 2 bets coming at them, this may get capped, and you are most certainly behind either the raise or the 3-bet OR both. Say it is 5 handed and everyone stays to the river. Are you good with THIS hand under THESE conditions 1 out of 5 times? The decision to fold here should be automatic.

Re: Preflop with 88
I wouldn't call here without some good reads. Consider first that you have to make up a helluva lot of bets by calling three cold, secondly that players in this game are quite passive, and thirdly that if you hit a set your relative position is very bad.

Re: Preflop with 88
I don't see this getting past 4-handed. With a 3-bet out there I would only expect 1 EP limper to call and don't expect the blinds to enter the pot either.
With that said, I fold... |

Re: Preflop with 88
There's a big difference between 5:1 and 15:3 in the amount of postflop bets you have to make up when you hit your set.
Calling on set value alone here, even if you KNOW you are getting 5 opponents and you know nobody is capping would be wrong. I highly doubt there will be a significant # of times you can win this hand without spiking an 8. I fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] This was for set value only. I don't intend to go very far unless I snag my 8. Miss the set 8 times = 24 SB lost Hit the set once = 12-13 SB preflop + 5-6 SB on the flop + 4 SB on the turn + 3 SB on the river = 24-26 won = close enough. Having not played full ring in a few months, I've forgotten a number of estimates that I used to use to determine my postflop implied odds on these sorts of hands. So these numbers which I pulled out of nowhere could be off a little bit. |

Re: Preflop with 88
You seem to be being a bit generous when estimating the number of bets, which you could expect to collect if you make your set IMHO.

Re: Preflop with 88
Even snagging the 8, there are a good number of situations where you simply can't make up those bets.
A83 - when you're against non-ace overpairs and/or just overcards KK8 - paralyzes PFR (maybe most paired boards) any 4-straight monotone flops --- It's a tough hand and I hate releasing it, too. |

(Remember that this is an 'average' guess, so you need to balance the times that you get bonus action and the times you get no action.) |
