    hey rancid, you know your stuff so can you answer me this question?? on that web site it say that as an example if you flop a flush draw you have 4-1 draw in odds so if you have pot odds of 5-1 and higher then you should make the call. what happens if your drawing odds and pot odds are the same ie 4-1, 4-1?? does that mean you can play it anyway you want as in fold, call or raise as in the long run you wont lose or make money with it.
    cheers

    i use none of the math stuff when im playing.  i know the basics but when im 6 tabling with no time bank its not worth getting too bogged down by it.

    i play worse the less tables i play.  i cant avoid the temptation to get involved in every hand and 3 bet every button.  maybe thats what happening as you move up.


    also, when i play higher i get it into my head that people are always making moves when theyre not.

    4/1 would technically be a break even call for direct odds. You will nearly always have some implied odds though so you its a call pretty much always

    you might be rght huuuume, i think my range does open when i play less tables when really it should be tightening up. i also think that everyone when moving through the levels you get it into your head they are making moves all the time. i remember when i did this when playing 4x nl10 /2xnl20/ 1xnl30, i just couldnt beat nl30.
    i think i am going to stay at nl30 and mulit for a bit and build a roll like you suggest freechips. 2k would feeel more comfortable esp if i need to multi table to stop me opening too wide.
