Default Re: An In Depth View of Tournament EV and Short Term Variance

Another major factor to consider is what Mike Caro identifies as the strongest tells in poker - acting weak when you are strong and acting strong when you are weak. This certainly occurs in online poker. There are some people who almost never raise from EP w/ AA or KK, or better yet, they always miniraise with those hands. There are also those players who only will raise 5xBB w/ a big-ish ace when they don't want to see the flop, like with ATo from MP. I know that I have notes on people that state that a 4xBB raise always means AK-AT. Coming over the top, with a hand like 22 for example, can then become +EV when it otherwise would be mucked.
