Default Re: A quick question about equity

I think there's a better way to think about it than primarily pot equity. You're HU, and you should be raising to either: (1) get more money in the pot with a strong hand; (2) manipulate your opponent or the pot size into making tough (and incorrect) decisions. Because you're in the BB, and you'll be OOP for the rest of the hand, there are some high equity hands that you don't necessarily want to C/R with. Similarly, there are some lower equity hands that you want to C/R with and apply as much pressure on your opponent as possible early in the hand. Add in the playing characteristics of your opponent, and you may divert even further from a pure equity analysis in your raise decision.
