Very simple PF question: AJo
Although new to internet poker (I occasionally play on my friend's account at PP $25NL), I still feel that internet poker isn't THAT much different than live.
My buddy (who is far less experienced, doesn't play half as much as I, nor reads anything and plays seldom) had AJo in the BB. This is PP $25. An EP raised and everyone folded to him. EP is unknown with 100BBs. I recommended fold. He told me we probobly wouldn't see a hand as good as that for a while. I attempted to explain the gap concept from TOP and found that I had difficulty explaining the concept. Can anyone give a fairly good, simple explanation? |

Re: Very simple PF question: AJo
Just explain him he will never win a big pot with AJ against an EP raiser's range unless he flops broadway or AAJ. He ought to be able to understand that.

Re: Very simple PF question: AJo
Tell him he is OOP, and his hand is easliy dominated by many of the types of hands the EP raiser may have.
Also tell him hand strength is relative. AJo is a good hand, but not in the scenario where it is facing a PF raise from EP. He's in that situation here, his strong hand has actually gone way down in value. HTH, The Wolf |

Re: Very simple PF question: AJo
1) OOP
2) AJ vs. raise easily dominated in this scenario 3) Gap concept-need a better hand to call(re-raise) than you need to open the pot yourself with The 'relative strength' of your hand comment was a good one. Me likes. |

Re: Very simple PF question: AJo
fold because its hard to hit your hand and break somebody as they also hit thier slightly worse hand
