But it's a tradeoff, in the above I may lose a fraction of a bet, but not raising I feel can cost us pots, and if people call 2 with D2s we pick up good fractions of bets that way. I believe this is more important.
We don’t lose a fraction of a bet the times we get it HU vs a made 8 or better. I think you and mark people underestimate how much we lose when he improves here.
For starters you want the other players in when he makes an 8 and we have a wheel draw. Sure there are a few times we make 875, he has 876 and a third player scoops but that will happen far less often then we make a 7 and they get punished.
There’s lots of other benefits to calling as well, having a protégée calling range is a large kneX as otherwise have mentioned.
I won’t go into the specific frequencies, but just say that I have a mixed strategy in this spot and think that most peoooe raise at way to high of a frequency
And if you end up raising and drawing 2 here it’s probably terrible.
I’d also call and draw 1 with 2378 100%
