Call pre

I'd make it bigger, like $3 or $3.50, but I'm interested in why Icanhastreebet thinks it's a call, as I (currently) wouldn't consider calling here...

5:1+plays pretty well postflop. It's probably a little bit worst then breakeven. We flop 25%+ equity 30% of the time and flop 40%+ 7% of the time. Couple this with sometimes where we get free cards when we have less then 25% and times where we semi-bluff and take it down or bink etc. and we have a slightly losing play as opposed to a -100bb/hand losing play.

3bing might show a better profit. I can't argue that it won't but coldcalling is a fine option as well.

i don't mind the squeeze here but i'd prefer to go bigger. at least $3.5 i think. this just seems to just make it too cheap for villains to continue against us in position. despite having okay equity/playability postflop, i don't really want this to go multiway (which will happen a lot of the time if MP2 or CO flat) so i go bigger. being OOP, our hands postflop playability decreases as the number of villain increases. fwiw i'd use the same size with my whole squeezing range unless one of the villains was a highly passive fish vs 3b's or whatever.

Squeeze slightly bigger imo, like $3.25 - $3.75.

Calling pre is interesting.

Hi M2M,

Can you elaborate a bit. I either squeeze or fold here, squeezing much more often than I'd fold. I'd like to improve my blind play so I'd appreciate a little more info on why you think calling > squeezing here.

Obviously Icanhas has given some details on why calling is good here, and I understand the odds being offered and it being a playable hand, but why do you think there is definitely _more_ value in calling than taking it down now?
