Royal #2

[BlibbityBlabbity]

Good question, what hands have equity vs 8-9 other random hands if everyone definitely sees the flop?

I would guess any pair and any hand that has a possibility of flopping a really strong showdown hand (suited connectors, not 23s) and connectors and any high straight cards. Dump any hands that would have to flop a FH/quads to be confident on the flop (73/23/82/T4, etc) and fold the flop without something promising.

I would guess once it is capped PF people stick around hoping they are good till the turn/river, right? That is probably the biggest money sink. Seeing the flop with potentially big hands should be a good bet overall with the money added (I guess it depends on the limit you are playing too, since a $25 sweetener in a 1/2 game is much different than 2/4, 3/6.)

That's awesome. Did you pause for a few seconds before the river bet?

[melioris]

I paused before all 3 streets, excepting calling the river shove.
