Hello,crash! In a tight game with average antes of...
10% to 15% and completely live A K,this is a RAISING hand. what U are trying to accomplish is a field reduction and hope that u pr up on 4th or 5th. If these cards are semi-dead,the hand is NOT playable.
If a tight player completes the bet,FOLD--whether u have live cards or not.
If a loose player completes in a generally tight field ,re-raise the live big cards.U want to go heads-up with the loose player. However,do not try to semi-bluff or bluff. if u do not connect by 5th,usually give it up.
in a SHORTED-HANDED game,these high cards go up in value. Hence they are very playable.
in a loose game with a relatively high ante,and live big cards,stick around until 5th to see if u can become a money favorite.
It will usually be a horse-racing contest between u and another player in the pot where each of u has a 50% chance of winning the pot. however,there will be enough dead money in the pot in these spots for u to continue on this 50% basis and even smaller--like 25%.
