I want an exact mathematical explanation why this play is correct.

1) If i knew the "exact mathematical explanation", I doubt I would share it on the internet [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

2) I doubt that such an explanation exists. It seems akin to saying "I want an exact explanation as to why I should invest with mutual fund manager A over fund manager B." Poker is risky, and in sit and goes, you usually (high level players aside) only play an opponent once. Making "exact" decisions based on less than an hour of playing someone is completely inexact. Maybe the player in the AK hand you posted ONLY mini-raises with AA or KK. However, even if you play him 5 times, you might not know that b/c he might not have gotten AA or KK in that timespan. In short, trust your gut and gambol.
