Certainly true but I was reflecting on your assertion he plays his pocket pairs all in pre-flop and plays them the same deuces to PP A. In the case of a low pocket pair HU I would be infact a slight underdog playing AK.

Do I sometime get the gut feeling to gamble? Sure but usually not unless that gut says it's the thing to do, I've seen the guy showdown random junk (AT EV 0.08 would be slight junk to AK EV 0.51), and my bank can withstand a direct hit if it comes. So even then I suppose it is in many ways a reasoned play.

It really depends on the situation.

Hey this entire discussion has been fun and I get the feeling pickin on each other has been equally satisfying as well.

Now go find out about that Party vs Empire thing. Also feel free to weigh in on the software forum topic im in about PO vs PT. :-) I respect your advice.
