Re: Back To Basics. Annoyingly simple preflop question.

IF we realize he is capping lightly we can adjust our play by calling down more. But will this have a higher EV than simply folding the hand preflop

You could be right here. But I still find it hard to believe that the hands I listed will be less than 0 EV, even if he is making some subtle capping adjustments--if he makes adjustments that are less than subtle we will hopefully quickly notice and adjust back.
I think it's rare that against good, thinking players you get to make a decision that really exploits something about their play, but this is one case where that seems to be true. I'm really gonna stretch to take total advantage of this. Even if I am sligthly -EV by reraising him with A9s, I might make that much or more up if I can persuade him to back off and let me start opening more pots after he folds.
