Default Re: 5/10 NL SH--chip spewing? (deep stacks)

Stacks are big enough that you can call the preflop rr if you choose. But your plan is now to flop big or fold.

I don't see how these can both be correct. You aren't getting odds to outflop AA-QQ.

Nice deep stacks, we have 20:1 implied odds. I could be wrong, but I think we have at least a 5% chance of outflopping a big pair.

I would also count a flush draw or OESD as flopping big. Certainly we have a fair chance of flopping one of those.

Sometimes you flop something nice and lose. Are you factoring that in? With this hand I think you should want to see better than 20:1 and you aren't. I would also want to know he is a tight re-raiser and that he will pay me off postflop. Against someone who is not known to take a big pair way too far postflop I think you had better either be able to steal postflop to augment your EV occasionally or you had better fold preflop.
