A stunt/joke that is turning into something more

Soma-

Really, even against donks who overcall with A hi? I mean, obviously if they are CERTAINLY folding, any amount is better, but so many times they pay to see when it's obvious to anyone they are beat. I like it as an offer after they've mucked, but if they know it's a "standing" rule and offer, I think you'll lose $$.

I used to play lots of spread limit (20-200), and unless the game is really tight, I would never want to get called. I'd be a rich man if that were the case. I miss spread limit. If you are viewing it as a big bet game, you shouldn't. FWIW, the idiots will believe whatever you want them to, and the good players will disregard all of this stuff regarding table chatter. Don't worry about it.

If some dude will pay you 150 bucks to see your hand, do it.

You are talking limit hold em here (spread limit). You should post some hands. I miss the old spread limit days. Really, think about it like limit poker with no blinds. This may not be the case if there's some buy-in cap. Where's the game being spread?

I have posted some hands in mid/high stake NL/PL fourm.

Ya it is still limit. Interesting game, plays like NL PF and sometimes on the flop then with anything near a good sized pot becomes limit on the turn and river.

Oh, yes I getted called for 150 all the time, been in a few multi way (1 bet, 3 raise) capped pots too. My biggest pot to date is a little over 1800 going to the felt on the river with my srt8 flush versus nut flush.

In AZ there is a law that limits the maximum bet in any poker game to $150. With the popularity of NL, the closest thing that can be spread is a X to 150 game. You will see the blinds from of 1/2 and 3/5. The only room that you can always find the game running is Casino Arizona, but all the rooms spread it, but most the time its not running or only runs a couple of hours.

The game will vary quite a bit from weak/tight to tight/passive to 110% LAG. It really just depends on who is in the game.

I have also use this in a private big NL game I "take shots" in from time to time. Most of the players there are too savy to pay, but I have had one guy so on tilt that he paid 750 to see...

So where was the 200 game spread?

That's a good point, against a player who is really just calling to see, I suppose we have to make the fraction of a bet large enough to compensate for when they o/w would have called our value bet.
