Thats exaclty what I was thinking. However the general thinking seems to be that this is a huge leak in my game and that my play was terrible. My reverse implied odds here are huge as I will on a flop that misses me lose at most one BB and potentially win 50+ BB if I hit a monster and win the hand.
The problem with hands like these is not the one BB you lose when the flop totally misses you.
It's the bets you lose when you flop top pair/no kicker, bottom two pair, or the low end of a straight draw, and have to make difficult decisions when faced with post flop bets. The main trouble with these hands is not just that they win less often, but that they make post-flop play more difficult.
Of course, we all think we can get away unscathed from these situations when it appears we're in bad shape, but most people cannot, especially when they are caught between two bettors with these types of questionable post-flop hands.
That is the real cost of playing these hands for "just one more bet" pre-flop. |
