Re: \"Tourney players are idiots\" -Mike Matusow
If a guy will call with AK, AQ, AJ, KQs, ATs and any pair:
The guy with 66 is way ahead of 55,44,33,22 == 24 hands
Way behind against 77,88,99,TT,JJ,QQ,KK,AA == 56 hands
Slightly favored against AK, AQ, AJ, KQs, ATs == 56 hands
Just throwing this range of hands out not saying it's realistic. However, the thinking is that I need to double up and I'm willing to take the worst of it but I won't be taking too much the worst of it.
Approximately off the top of my head, that guy with 66 is about a 7-6 dog to come out on top. Not a bad gamble when you need to double IMO. I realize that the range may not be realistic but this is the thinking involved with making the move with a hand 66 IMO. Also if you don't know where you're at after the flop against some players i.e. they play better than you after the flop it even makes more sense IMO.
