From p. 13 of Ciaffone's and Brier's Middle Limit Holdem Poker:
Be aware of situations when pairing an overcard makes a possible straight. Here is an example. You raise on the button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] after several opponents have limped, and wind up with four callers. The flop comes T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. A player in middle position bets and there are two callers. What do you do? We believe you should fold. The deciding factor is that king you are trying to pair may give someone with Q-J a very big smile I found this reasoning somewhat questionable, as it hinges on the possibility of one of your opponents holding a single specific hand. Anyone have any further thoughts on this? gm |
