Re: Pocket 2\'s ITM with even stacks

Just as a way to mix things up, sometimes I will just call the BB and then make the min bet on the flop no matter what comes out. It costs the same as a min raise. Your fold equity is good if your opponent has not hit anything. Granted you are giving him a free shot at hitting something.
I probably raise all in about 80% of the time here and call the other 20%.

And after you complete in the SB and the BB pushes (as I will often do with just about anything if the SB just completes) are you going to fold? You're really giving up way too much equity. This is exactly the stage of an STT where the most prize money is won and lost. You have to push here if you want to maximize your ROI. This one just isn't close.
