Is this the type of player that can fold a 10 if you raise the turn? If so, I'm calling down in what seems to be WA/WB situation. It's a big pot and you only need to win about 25% of the time to make it profitable.

I don't get the wtf? If you be a little more specific maybe we can discuss it.

Hero's hand is good about 98% of the time here. This is not a WA/WB situation.

98% of the time doesn't constitute way ahead? If he's not ahead, how many outs does he have to take the pot? I like a calldown because when he raises, he loses someone who has at most 5 outs (who probably wouldn't fold with 5 outs anyway). So really, a raise only loses someone with 2 outs.

I am not sure if you are being facetious? WA/WB in general refers to hands where you have a close to 50/50 shot at being either. For example AA on an AKK flop is not WA/WB, it is WAWAWAWAWWAWA/sometimes (almost never) (really almost never) WB, and should certainly not be played WA/WB.


KK on an A72 board heads up is WAWB, for example.

I think what is being lost is that I prefaced my response with "if he is the type to fold a 10 to a raise." If he's going to call down with a 10, this is a clear raise. There wasn't a read given in the original post, so my response was more to give a different line that was strictly player dependent.

I understood the concept of WA/WB but this is by far the shortest, most concise, easiest to understand definition I have ever seen. NH, sir.
