Default Re: 5 card Draw situation

You check to your opponent, and he bets. You are getting 2 to 1 on the call. Is this a profitable call?

Two to one? Which site is this? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (This would have to be
at 3-6 on Poker Room or a skin, but then you should have
raised!)

Game theoretically, you must call with the top half of your
hands in this spot. You should not only call with AA, but
also KK and QQ otherwise you will be folding too much. If
your opponent is aggressive, he may be bluffing more than
what is correct according to game theory (which is about 1/3
depending on the rake schedule) so you may want to call
with even more than the top half of your hands in this spot.
