Actuary 3 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 i'll start. (and better qualified people can add to it)1. Thinking because more people are seeing the flop; therefore your implied odds are higher..and thus you should play hands like A-9 off.Some hands suck and some hands really suck more multiway.(ps..if that's not a fallacy, please slap me down..but I'm pretty sure it is, and it's used too often to justify playing hands too far or at all.)2.

speedz99 145 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Really? I've found that it usually does work. At least on .5-1 party tables. I'm about to move up to 1-2 so maybe I need to rethink that strategy... Link to post Share on other sites

Chiggleslap 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 7. I have the chips, so I can afford the call (in tournaments)(this should actually probably go in the "You know you're playing a fish when he says..." thread) Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 8. Thinking that since you put money/chips in the pot, putting more in is justified..."i might as well..already called $20, what's another $40"(not to be confused with...trying to win a BIG pot with a marginal hand, which is okee dokee sometimes) Link to post Share on other sites
yeffy 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 6. raising the flop for a free card is usually goodCare to elaborate?it usually doesnt work and you just pay more to see the turn.Perhaps even worse is raising to get a free card and then not even taking it. Why pay 2 bets on the flop, and then put in another big bet on the turn when you miss. You now have 8 or 9 outs with only one card to come, have worse pot odds, and are charging yourself extra to draw. I know fold equity shmold equity, come betting in position with an obvious flush draw makes me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites
