Re: HOH II Problem 9-3 (p 177)
I was just reading this last night. I think Harrington's logic is pretty compelling, though I am not sure he was explicit about all of it. In a nutshell:
* You have better FE UTG+1 than if you wait another hand because there is one less player to act (one already folded) and it appears less desperate than a UTG push
* Your hand is at least of average or better strength, meaning that its just as likely that this is the best hand you can get in first with as that you will get dealt a better one next hand
* You have a hand that if called is unlikely to be dominated. An AQ will call, 66 maybe from a pretty big stack, obviously QQ, but what other dominating hand is calling you here? KQ?
