What the [censored]! The pot is HUGE! Don't try to save bets, try to win the pot.

He's not going to win this pot if he's behind to a king.

Flop bettor could easily have a king or a heart. BUT WHY GIVE CREDIT DUE TO A SINGLE BET?


[/ QUOTE ]

It's the combination of the bettor, the multiple callers, and the two other players left to act that worries our Hero.

P.S. Shouting in CAPS and using explicatives doesn't make your arguments any more logical.

This seems to be a very weak-tight fold with a pot THIS size. First player and two players behind him are on a flush draw definitely.

[/ QUOTE ]

So all three players are on flush draws? The only thing definite is that you are not a psy(chic)duck.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Of course, its impossible to say what some low limit players are peeling with but, no matter how a bad a player might be, you have to give him credit for something sometimes.

After reading through this thread, I think its close between:

1) folding the flop
2) calling the flop, raising a safe turn, and taking a free showdown.

I think the only guys wrong here are the ones saying its definitely wrong to fold or its definitely wrong to raise. I think its close. Both might be +EV, right? If that's the case the only question is which is greater +EV?

I think it's definitely wrong to raise the flop regardless of what action you think is the best. People make loose calls at 2/4 on the flop. It's what they do, and it's why the game is so ridiculously soft. I think it's probably neutral one way or the other.

Right, I agree. Let me rephrase my last little paragraph.

I think the only guys wrong here are the ones saying its definitely wrong to fold or its definitely wrong to call the flop/raise the turn/free showdown.

Sometimes, I forget the importance of completely accurate syntax on here. I'm new. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
