what does he raise 9bb with on level 1? some people do this with AA KK, which just makes my hand even worse against this range.

not only are you basically assuming you have no folding equity against medium pairs, you're assuming that he can only have pairs.

he raised to 100, which is about 7x bb, at party, and he did it behind a limper.

lastly, you aren't giving up ev when you avoid getting all your money in with a worst hand.

then what is a good rationale for folding it? my hand isn't a favorite against his range, i should preserve chips until i have think i have a bigger edge. what else?

[citanul]

you said you were avoiding a coinflip, not avoiding getting all your chips in bad.

there's a difference.

[citanul]

also, i'm wondering what the point of hte post in the first place was, i mean all you said was "sometimes it's ok to fold AK preflop" basically, and well, everyone knows that.
