Re: One for Trix, Nate, Ace-high steal.
Regarding the 98s vs A6o, I thought you talking about on the button
Nate was and I was, yes. But a steal is a steal.
I still like the suited connecter better there and think it has higher EV for most players
It's easier to play for most players, that I can agree with. However, given a steal situation, I'll take Ax anyday over a suited connector and twice on Tuesday.
Things are different though when out of position as your cant take a free card when you need it and your opponent is more likely to play past the flop as he has position and you opened from a later spot.
Who said I don't call this flop on the button, call the turn and river bet unimproved given the same board? I likely do. I still tried to steal, it didn't work but my hand is worthy of a showdown on a board that is bluffable by such an opponent. In addition, if I am behind, I have a likely 7 outs.
Peace,
Joe Tall
