Since none of the 3 people who watch this channel wanted to comment in the value town thread.....I am re-posting here.



Did I just hop on the bus to valuetown?

Some explaining is due:

villain is 22.79/13.97/1.14 and goes to showdown 40.74%
PFR is to isolate since I do not have odds to play for set.
Turn and river is bet/fold (although I have never actually executed that strategy...it's nice to think thats what I was going to do)


PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (7 handed) from (Format: Bet The Pot)

Preflop: Hero is SB with , .

MP1 has 4d 4s (two pair, eights and fours).
Outcome: Hero wins 8.50 BB.

Very nice. I probably play it the same, until the turn. I don't think I could bet that turn and if he calls, I know I couldn't bet that river. There is just so much other there that connects with most hands. Fortunately you found an idiot.
