2. If calling with T7s was a mistake there, I think it was a small mistake at worst. With that said, I hope I fold there in the future.
We've been talking about 4/8 vs. 10/20 vs. 20/40 in this thread - in a 4/8 game that's so horribly criminally raked is there wisdom in folding hands that only have a very slight overall edge preflop?
T7s is actually a good example of that - it actually doesn't have a very big equity disadvantage against the range I put my limpers on (even with the limping ranges not decapitated), and when it hits the flop it's not hard to play postflop. In a 20/40 game where you're not going to see 15% of the pot dragged into a box I could see a reason to play it.
P.S. the 15% is not much of an exaggeration. A $50 pot in a 4/8 game generates the full $5 of rake plus BBJ plus tip.
