If I'm ahead, he may shut it down and I'll get no extra bets out of him. If I'm behind, I'm paying the max. <BR/><BR/>That probably means it's more like 7.5:2 or something like that, but it is still worse than 8:2.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776475757665229021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18400942.post-48790303801000177092008-03-22T20:09:00.000-07:002008-03-22T20:09:00.000-07:00Hand #1...

However as you said, unless it's a cold-stone bluff, you're going to lose often enough to make it -EV to call so a lay-down is in order. One technical point, I think you're getting 8-2, not 7-2 on the call since he'll put in an extra bet on the river as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
