lol? I can almost guarantee you aren't showing a profit when you
cold call this hand in the BB v 2 opponents OOP for 4x.
Number 1) You hit ~25% of flops this is obviously amazing and alone makes the hand playable.
- Point taken
2) Wait it's really hard to win pots at this
level prior to
showdown especially without
initiative.
- Not really
3) 1/4 of these is
flush draws or some variation of
flush draws. Wait what happens when we get overflushed? We lose our entire
stack 100% of the time.
Well that's fine we can hit straights!!!111
- Point taken
4) Lets see what straights we can make:
234 - This
straight gets paid a tonne everytime because our opponents totally nail the board at a super high frequency when it contains 234!!!11
- Yeah mate, nobody ever stacks off with overpairs, 2P, sets or spews with AK at 2NL.
347- Re 234
- Re234
478- Re 234, but not quite as bad.
- Re 234
789-
Well I hope we already know the shitty end of a
straight is not great especially when if when the board contains T or J our hand is worth diddly squat.
Okay okay we still have 2pairs.
5) We'll make these 2% of the time! Yeh buddy!!!11 But wait our 2pairs are small and not even a huge
favourite v their AI ranges but it's k.
6) Combo draws!!!11 Okay cool some of these aren't that great due to the prior reasons and even if we do hit huge combo draws we are
OUT of position so we are at our opponents mercy
- Yeah, let's just play super nitty and fold all SC's in the blinds unless we have AKs then we can get it all in coz we have 2 high cards!!!111
But it's fine I'
m folding 56s in the BB here because I'
m a "
nit" not because our hand is literally 6high.
edit:
MP doesn't even have 100bb which obviously makes this hand that much worst. Next time you want to
call someone a
nit come up with an actual argument as to why this is a profitable
cold call out of position.
Don't just state things I can obviously see for myself.
- Are you agreeing it's nitty to fold 56s in the BB?
edit2: 7) We
flop boats and
quads about 1.5% of the
flop. Too bad our our opponents are rarely going to
catch pieces of these boards.
