These were all at different tables FWIW. And I wrote a post abotu this somewhere in teh thread, and while this is a looser table (in hand 2), there were still some hands where someone raised and went 2-3 ways post flop. We have to draw the line somewhere for our EP opening range. 77? 99? TT?
it was certainly not to the point where if I raised and went heads up I would "fall out of my chair." I would have been shocked if it folded around maybe.
I will say that out of all the decisions in these hands, preflop for Hand 2 was one of the last things that I thought we would discuss indepthly. Limp/call I'm fine with, open folding is just way too nitty not because I expect to flop sets and stack everyone, but like niceguy22, in the aggregate, i would assume that it is +EV because it is overall ahead of their range and because people are really bad at poker postflop. It may be more marginal on looser tables, but I still believe it will be +EV. If literally every hand I raised got 7 callers, then it will maybe be much tougher to make it +EV, but that's not necessarily the case.
