Re: How close is it?
Good post ZJ, and nice analysis.
When I said "complete trash" I was exaggerating a bit. My intuition (plus checking all sorts of similar situations in the past) was that I would prefer a hand like 76s over A9s, like your 2nd analysis suggests. With a very strong read of your opponent/s tendencies, particularly the relation between their raising and calling standards, a better decision can be made.
It is interesting though that these results show that PPs (like 22) will do relatively good in such situations, that's because bigger part of the "calling range" includes overs, which are not ahead of 22 and the like. In other words, I would somewhat prefer making a move like pushing here with a trash pair like 22, than with A9s.
BTW, where does 94s stand? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
