syphilaids;266257 wrotek thx guys. I did fold since I had nothing invested. These spots allways quiz my judgement.
k i think this is an issue with 'the gap theory' but i might have the name wrong.
what im talking about is in abc poker each seat has a set range you should play and the seat before it should have a tighter range. you can assume each player plays this way and then adjust from there.
under the gun limps so you can expect his range to be wide and if your in position you can call or raise if your first in. but when someone before your position raises you have to assume they have a tighter range from from an earlier postion. kqo becomes a fold because gap theory says its not good enough vs the earlier player's range....
now you could adjust it by saying hes wide cause the limper, or maybe he does this to much, or raises to much, or say you have edge etc. but if you weren't sure you can always just say 'gap theory' i fold.
