30-60 k-10c whats your thoughts on pre-flop play

ANY2CARDZ · #1 10-21-2005, 02:59 PM

This is not a hand I played but Im not convinced that this raise is correct against 3 limpers. Is this standard?

Pre-flop
ischan limps in mp3 64/9/1.3, stevejpa calls, JHLEE111 calls in cutoff, sb folds, Hero raises in BB with k-10c.

This is actually easily solved as a mathematical formula. You get their range of hands, and contrast K10c with them in terms of equity, subtracting a little perhaps from being out of position, but you can add a little since you'll out play them post flop (if this is true). So, the question to you is, what are these opponents range of hands, and how does K10s compare to them.

I would not raise this hand preflop. I wouldn't even consider it.

It's not right or wrong. It just is. It's just making a big pot so if you flop nice people might chase. If your opponents would chase anyway, it's probably not necessary. Three limpers, I'd say it's borderline. 6 or 7 limpers, I'd probably jack it up and build a fat pot since it plays well multiway and just for variation.

You really think it's THAT bad? Definitely not SOP, but I don't think raising KTs from the BB after 3 limpers makes you a "total retard."

That said, I've personally never made this raise in an online game.

What if hero was on button and one more person had limped in? Raise it then?

I think it plays quite well multiway, but way better when one has position. Out of position I'm not sure that it is going to be +EV do to the negative implied odds of domination. Anyone else care to comment on the situation I listed above in the first paragraph?
