Default Re: NL Preflop Question #2

[ QUOTE ]
I think this added assumption makes it really close to EV neutral between calling and pushing good flops and folding. Pushing preflop is still the worst option.

Could be - like I said, it was just a guess. Although it would surprise me if both statements were true; that 1) Situation A is a "clear cut fold" , and 2) Adding just the 99 in Situation B is enough to make what once was a clear cut fold an arguable call.

There was a fellow in the other thread who basically wrote a "Perfect Poker" program, which calculated the EV of pushing only on flops where you had the best of it against {AA-TT,AKs,AKo} (i.e., playing 100% optimally). I reckon I'll wait until he weighs in on this thread to see if it really does make that much of a difference.
