rogermarks 0 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I'm confused as to why a guy with bottom set would be willing to put so much money in with 3 hearts on the board and so much raising. This "rule of 7" seems to apply to both players in an unspoken agreement to stop the betting at 7 in order to give the winner the action he wants, while putting a cap on the money the loser will lose. Instead of having a few bet-raise-call scenarios on every street, they just get it all done after the flop. I'm stil confused by it a little bit, but I think I got the basic idea.

The unspoken addition to the rule is that the player in position can extract value if their hand improves, while still being able to obtain a cheap showdown with a marginal hand.
