Re: Deep 3/6NL: CAll all in preflop with AQs?
Why would you ever pass up a +EV situation in a cash game?
Because a better one will come up later? I mean, this seems pretty easy to me...
If you're not dominating him, which you might be but not necessarily, then you're maybe 70/30 at best. You wanna risk 2.5 buy-ins when you have nothing invested in the pot and are probably 2 to 1 or worst to win the pot?
You have the best position you can imagine at the table. A massive stack with a guy to your right that's using only an all in move.
I think I'm waiting for AA, KK, QQ, and AK for this. Your stack is massive and the blinds are insignificant. The advantage isn't that you can win a stack from him, it's that you can cripple him and be sitting there with 5x or more of a buy-in.
If he's behind you, it's a much tougher decision. But in this position you can just sit around and wait till you're far more likely to be a 4 to 1 favorite, which is oh so much more attractive than being a 2 to 1 fav.
