Re: A Hand Against Roy Cooke
Two thoughts:
1. "So he is only a 2-1 favorite" - There aren't a lot of situations in holdem where you are such a substantial favorite are there? 2-1 seems monstrous to me. I'm surprised you use the word 'only'.
2. I haven't ever played with Roy, but based on his writings and attitudes about 'unknown' and 'tourist' type players, I suspect his range of 3-betting hands is considerably larger than AA-JJ and AK against this opponent. I would be very surprised if he doesn't go down to 88 and AQ in these spots, particularly if the blinds are tight at all. I suspect that your possible range of hands Roy could be holding here is too narrow and the Chicago player is substantially higher than a 2-1 favorite here.
