 kill pot question., mongi, 27. Jun 2003 13:39 | ||

| I was in the big blind and five people had limped in before me. I held 9c 2d and mucked my hand. The guy next to me said that I should always call with anything in the bigblind in a kill pot. I didn't tell him my exact holding but I said I had junk and it wasn't worth the call. He said that I was getting great odds 12-1. I said I was a anywhere from 45-75 to 1 dog to hit, anything worth playing past the flop, and even then I may not be a winner. The killer may still raise, what is the point. Is there something that I am missing here? Is this guy correct? I understand that there will be alot of money in the pot before the flop with hands which haven't necissarily shown strenth and I understand there are big time implied odds working here. I am pretty sure I should lower my calling standards here but do you still call with complete trash? | ||

| The guy was a fool. Your pot odds on a kill pot when you are in the BB are the same as your pot odds in the small blind in a regular hand. If you have junk then you should throw it away. You're in lousy position to boot. | ||

| You are right in folding the 92...that is streaching it way too far! Roy Cooke on 27. Jun 2003 13:39 mongi wrote: > I was in the big blind and five people had limped in before me.
