Default Re: A22 hand

Thx. Buzz interesting reading.

Regarding my point that you are a 60/40 dog against any ace and 2 low cards, run it on 2 dimes and see. I think this is a huge range of likely hands that you are going to run into, and you are NEVER going to know when you are behind.

and let's give Villain a hand that simply contains an ace plus three random cards.

You can't have it both ways in your analysis that Villian is more likely to have A and random cards. If villian stays in, in my view it is VERY likely that he has A and low cards. They are the most commonly played cards. This hand will either win you a small amount/split pot, or get you steamrolled where you lose your stack.

And you will have no clue or control over it. Villian will have much better information about his hand, and can leverage the hell out of you.

And, again I am speaking to the hand in PL terms now.
