Betting out is just plain silly.


[/ QUOTE ] You don't think betting has fold equity?

[/ QUOTE ]

You are likely folding only the hands that you are already ahead of. Someone here has an ace, jack, eight, KQ, or QT , and they ain't folding.

[/ QUOTE ]But betting gives you an idea of who you are ahead of, and where you stand in the hand. I donno, I am probably wrong about betting here, but it is kind of standard.

I'm not sure if it is standard. If it is, it shouldn't be.

I think it's close. If noone hit an A or J... the pot is likely yours....and with 2 peeps have already shown weakness taking the pot down with one flop bet looks very enticing with those odds......however it maybe pretty unrealistic to fold out all 3.

If you get button to fold flop and calls from blinds...you can likely have a free turn card, where you MAY have up to 10 outs on the river.... but I know this is optimistic as well.

I've probably played it both ways.

I disagree. People will fold pp on a board like this.

It's pretty likely that someone has a pair they aren't folding. I think assuming there is an ace out is weak tight.

I don't think a bet is horrible. The odds you give yourself plus the 4 out equity + the rainbow board make it reasonably favorable.

without debating the merits of betting and calculating whether or not we actually care if they fold these hands, I find that they will very rarely fold those hands

[/ QUOTE ]For all they know, it would be a mistake for them to call. wouldn't it? BTW, I am just trying to generate controversy and a good discussion.
