Re: AJo from ameristar
is nobody responding to this b/c its too easy? its too stupid of a question? or its difficult and close?
at the time of the c'r i thought to myself, hmmm, if i was james (the college guy), id put alex on a 3 myself. but knowing alex a bit better than james does i know that alex is capable of moving up one level and c'r a pair here like 7s,88, maybe even 66 or down to 22 to make his hand look stronger than it is and get tight players to fold overcards to his pair (this doesn't work very well against people who've seen him do this before but its still very effective when it does work) when it looks like the overcards are drawing super slim.
if i had KQ in this spot, given the size of the pot i would 3bet alex here a good deal of the time and try to fold out some of the rif raf...id also do it w/ AK. thing is, w/ AK, you have a better hand (still worse than alex's though) but you may share the A with him. if i had to choose, id like to have KQ there rather than AK.
anyways, i think it was interesting even though nobody here does.
