MrNiceGuy 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 please explain?Even if the table is so loose that there's no way to pick up the blinds, your raise will thin the field. You're also raising for value.(Not to mention, you won't have the problem you had in your original post. It's easy to call a 3-bet, and it's easy to fold to a cap (unless there's a lot of opponents in the pot).) Link to post Share on other sites
Nutcracker 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Gotta raise this preflop. You need to limit the field with big offsuit hands, as they play much better against 2 or 3 opponents. If you limp, you're inviting all the mid pp and suited connectors to come on in and beat you. Link to post Share on other sites
