Re: Percent of pre-flop folds [post #6]

% pre-flop folds is totally driven by the cost of seeing the flop (usually driven by the amount of the big blind) vs the likely size of the pot afterwards. On a no limit table with really cheap blinds, if you can get in cheap (and walk away if raised) call on just about anything hoping for trips or two pair on the flop. Perhaps even play a bluff if the opponent is vulnerable to it.

He never defines cheap. It could be at a 200BB table.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Interesting. I have seen some tables that rarely do pre-flop raising but go crazy from the flop onwards...

Negraneu plays this way from time to time, at smaller limits. His reasoning: It forces him to play better post-flop. If you suck post-flop, dont even bother.
Is that guy still part of the forum??
