While playing a 4.40 today I open 2x every time except button which I open 3x just so it isn't quite so cheap for the bb.
your doin it wrong :p
DennisG;287465 wrote I am finding a LOT of multiway pots this way..is it simply the cheap stakes with the callers or do others see this at the higher buyins? (I haven't done the min raising at any level other than this)
its a little of both.....at it depends on who's left to act... but it can be done effectively at lower stakes...sometimes its better to just 5x your aces etc. obv. but the real idea is to widen your range to play small pots in position with weak players and lots of implied odds....
if your only playing premiums then a multiway pot is not a good idea...but if you play a hand like T8s or 33 or a4s....then youll be happy to be 4 way
you just can't stack off with top pair
and sometiemes you can stab at multiway pots profitabley...
the whole idea is people suck post flop but at first your gonna mess your self up by calling off with an over pair and running in to sets and two pair with your tourney life over a preflop min raise...:p
