1/3 PAHWM 65s interesting development - Page 4 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I agree that it’s better to thin the field (aka “isolate”) if possible. But at most live low stakes games, there’s lots of cold calling, low limp/fold percentages... which means that chances are decent that a raise will result in a multiway pot anyway, and often with a player that has position on us... in those situations, we only want to raise a linear range for value... 6 high won’t be part of that range.... but then we have to decide if the ev of limping is over 0EV... decent stack depth. Decent versatility.. poor opponents postflop skills. .. call?

I should add that in a 4+ way pot, you likely have the right combination of implied odds/direct odds to flat without factoring in much fold
Equity. The fold equity is a large component in isolation pots. Not so much in multiway pots.

So, th I first step in my thought process is “can I isolate/steal?” If the answer isn’t yes often enough (which it’s not here imo, then we have to think about how our hand plays postflop multiway/and at a reduced spr. Top pair types will
Be much better.

And yes perhaps I do need to more open to admitting I'm wrong.

The goal of my PAHWM threads isn't to impress random poker players on the internet that I'll probably never meet IRL or show off like omg dude I totally bluffed him off his top pair I'm such a genius. It's to create an open discussion about how to play certain hands in ways that are potentially more +EV than the traditional way. Venice you said I need to work on my observational skills. You are right I probably do. That's one of the reasons I make these threads actually. I want people to comment on my assumptions about villains and their frequencies, not just to tell me to bluff less. Because my assumptions about their frequencies could often be wrong which obviously leads to -EV (or at least less +EV) plays.

The bolded is fine to discuss. But probably better off in Poker Theory than this forum. Just my opinion.
