Default Re: Selective aggression hand I don\'t agree with.

I think a case can be made for both lines. I don't mind the line for just calling here, I still like raising better.

In the SSHE example, p 158, if that's the one you're thinking of, it's a little different. You have a caller in between plus 2 overcards and a bigger pot. However, your raise is primarily to free up the Ace (as far as buying outs, which isn't the prime factor of that hand/raise given other, more beneficial factors also involved). You're not worried about your 9 outs as much as you will outkick most kickers unless they make 2 pair.

I just want to elaborate that the example in SSHE is VERY different. Firstly, the pot was raised preflop. Also, there are two limpers in between you and the raiser. Your raise is NOT primarily to clean up your lone overcard (putting 1SB in to buy 2 outs?). Your raise is for value, and because it may buy you a free river if the button folds and the turn is checked to you.
