Could someone explain to me why i'm getting this wrong because I feel like I must be.
Because there is so much limping and multi-way pots on the site i'm playing on, when there are a couple of limpers and i'm on the button, i'm doing a min raise to get the betting lead post-flop. I know my logic must be wrong, but it seems to be beneficial but i'm guessing not long term.
I suppose with so many limpers and the way people lead out of turn a lot more in this game so getting the betting lead doesn't always happen.
I'm doing this with things like 910, 88 etc.
Please someone explain to me why i'm a moron.
Oh, it's usual NL pre-flop betting, and it's the game where a set beats a straight.
Someone must know why i'm being moronic in my logic above.
Why doesn't it make sense in a normal texas NL game then. So if you had a game with a lot of limping and a lot of multi-way pots, why does min-raising on the button not make sense? If someone knows the answer to that I might be able to reverse engineer it.
You're a moron because your strategy is easily countered, both pre- and post-flop. Post-flop people are just going to donk into you once they suss out that your "min-raise buttons wide" strategy is not indicative of a strong range that is likely to c-bet. Worse, pre-flop your strategy is easily countered because you are letting the entire field go for a limp-raise with their best hands.
I put a calculator together - here is the beta version (can't guarantee this link stays live forever, I'll be doing some reconfiguring at some point with how to make this available)
