lol big deal, and no, something can be -EV even if you are optimizing EV.

Ok, I give up. You seem to be more interested in preserving face than in improving your play. That is your prerogative, so good luck to you.

Good quiz. It would be very valuable to have a 'quiz of the day/week'. What do you think?

What are you talking about? Let's go over the math for the first question's answer, which is that you should push any two against a known (good) 2+2er.

BB's calling range: KK+

$EV of pushing AQo from the SB: +1.9% (+$5.68 of the prizepool).
$EV pushing 72o: +1.8% (+$5.38)

And just for kicks:

$EV pushing AA: +2.1% (+$6.23)

The difference between pushing AA and 72o against this player is 0.3% of the prize pool. That's basically insignificant at this point. The fact that the OP had you in the SB with AQo is moot. It was designed to confuse substandard players into believing that there is somehow a difference in what you should push here. Apparently it did confuse you, since you're bringing up ridiculous arguments about how there is "more than one answer." I can assure you, just like ilya, that there is one. The one and only correct answer is to "push any two."

This goes beyond arrogance, ego, or style. This is math. It's pure and concrete. You are wrong and we are right. Capisce?

I'm going to wait for someone else to come around and have a go at you. I've shown you the math, which takes into account stacks, blinds, and calling ranges. But, you just keep repeating your original argument like you haven't even read what everyone else has been saying to you.

So, keep giving up your ~1.8% (in your case, your $18 or so). Give us a status report of how you're doing every once in a while eh?
