i don't know anything about limit but intuitively it seems like a mother fucker to be playing for rakeback only - although i sometimes wonder if that's what i'm doing myself in NLHE =[

how are you getting rakeback on stars? or are you playing limit on another site and NLHE on stars?

FPP = rakeback. It just takes a tiny bit of extra effort on your part to turn it into cash.

yea u can trade 100,000 fpp for a 1.5k bonus which is effectively 30% rakeback

You were about 11:1 to hit. You would need to make 121 each time you make this play for it to be profitable. There are about 50 dollars in the pot and he has 73.80 behind him. This makes about 124. Minus the 3 dollars in rake and you'll have 121.

This is a breakeven play if and only if he always goes all in and always loses if you hit your queen on the turn. Otherwise its a big loser.

In short: call was very bad.

well you have to add in the value of information as i had no history and wanted to see what he would do on next and i was folding to any aggression on the turn.

with that being said, i like your mathemathical breakdown, thanks maynard.

i agree wholeheartedly it was a horrible call and i normally woudlnt call a mini raise on that board

oh and im trying to point out he made a really bad play by minirasing

if he did a normal 3 bet im gone in a heartbeat
