Default Re: what do you guys think of this?

But against a better player you can get away with morehands preflop, because you know that he'll check
the turn often enough after you call the flop


I was dead wrong on this issue.
I compiled a list of hand rankings for HU situations.
Basically all hands that might be opp. dependant
as far as a call/fold is concerned preflop, fall
in the 40-60% range (or higher if someone wanted
to argue that).

Hands that you would consider peeling off the flop
with vs. players that check the turn often
enough are hands like 89, TJ, and other high
cards.

These hands are automatic calls preflop (better than
the 40-60% range).

So when deciding to call preflop with marginal hands,
it might actually be better if your opp. were to
always bet the turn...Because your not calling
the flop with the 40-60 range unless you hit.
