Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?

Please give me an example of a hand that AQs beats but is an insignificant favorite over. Either you are ahead, even money or buried.

That's my point we are getting all in with AQs, which when all in preflop is probably not that huge of a favorite against villians hand range. Probably a favorite yes, but not a big one.

Then define "wrong". Do you mean the specific hand or your whole pattern is wrong?

What hands do you require to call in this situation? AA, KK?

Did I use the word "wrong" in my post?

I'm just saying that the concept of passing up a small +EV edge to wait for a bigger +EV edge has relevance here. B/C it is a capped buy-in it is very important to have a big stack and have the fish covered, so we make a ton of money when we get in as a huge favorite.

Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
 

I believe this is by far the best strategy. At a single buy-in you could afford to take several shots. Deep stacked you need to have patience. I don't put my stack of 3-4 buy-ins at risk in this situation unless I believe I am the favorite unimproved, which I think is AA, KK, QQ. Not AK.

This is an excellent point.

What are your thoughts on folding JJ /AK/AQs here and taking the risk of letting UTG ($1500) wake up with a hand and stack villian before I can?

huh? if UTG "wakes up" I assume you mean he has a very strong hand. I don't think his calling range is going to be much wider than TT+, AK, AQs, maybe AJs and AQo? It's not like you're gonna want to be in a 3 way pot with him, maniac and your AQs anyway. Plus if UTG is willing to call here with a hand like AJs that you do beat, it's possible that he loses, and then you end up with a ton of money in the fishes pocket and a massive tilter.

Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
 

I didn't mean a 3-way pot. I just meant me folding my AQ only to have UTG stack villian on the next hand. Good points made about villian winning and having a massive tilter.

this is a call... especially if its on stars (where you can use the rebuy trick to quickly cover him agian)

Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
 

was on party.

Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
 

i think you gotta call here, its just not too likely that he has you beat.

Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
 

Calling is the correct move I believe, but I have a feeling he has something like AJ and will spike a flush.

It's not at all interesting. It's a very simple math/logic problem.
