[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Players are much more aggro and laggy and bluff rate is a lot higher.

[/ QUOTE ] no, you do not want to buy short in a big game...take it from me...you buy in for 500 in a 5/10NL game, stacks are as big as 10K, avg stack is 2.5-3K. you pick up AA on the button, super 10K maniac in EP makes it 200 to play. 2 callers and you have 500, obviously you push but against this type of game, chances are your AA is only a slight fav...this is just a very rudementary example why it's not smart.

Re: Vegas 5/10nl
I look forward to hearing your explanation for why getting all-in preflop with AA in a cash game is bad.

[/ QUOTE ] god you are a [censored] idiot, I'm not sure what limits you play, but in a game like 5/10NL, especially in vegas, you will not get heads up with a short stack post flop against monster stacks and laggy players. Lets just say you're dealt AA on the button, UTG opens for the standard $50, MP makes it $150, CO calls, now what (you can push and make $200, min raise, or smooth call)...limiting your options this pot will most likely go 4 ways so your AA against 3 random hands makes you a 45% fav at best, this is less than a coinflip...if you're up against a bunch of low/mid suited connectors, you drop down to approx 35% fav. I never said it's bad to get your money in with aces but this is a cash game and you should afford to be playing correctly on all streets, not just before the flop and then make an all in postflop b/c your essentially pot committed. |

[/ QUOTE ] First of all against 4 random hands, AA is a 62% favorite according to Pokerstove: equity (%) win (%) tie (%) Hand 1: 62.4208 % 62.26% 00.17% { AA } Hand 2: 08.5176 % 08.28% 00.23% { random } Hand 3: 15.3807 % 15.03% 00.35% { random } Hand 4: 13.6810 % 13.15% 00.53% { random } So if you put in 200 against 3 other players, your EV would be about 480...yeah that really sucks. But even if your AA is against more normal hands like: Hand 1: 49.9132 % 49.86% 00.05% { AA } Hand 2: 15.9254 % 15.87% 00.05% { KK } Hand 3: 15.4578 % 15.41% 00.05% { QJs } Hand 4: 18.7036 % 18.65% 00.05% { 87s } It still has about 50% equity, which means that in the long run you will double up. So again, what is your point? |

Re: Vegas 5/10nl
I understand you're percent reasoning but you have to give you're opponents a little credit to call 3 bets preflop.
I seriously doubt they would be holding a 27os or a 92os...type in the numbers again with the lowest suited connectors like 2c4c, etc...and recaculate. also you say [ QUOTE ] It still has about 50% equity, which means that in the long run you will double up. So again, what is your point? [/ QUOTE ] if a player is buying in short, he's obviously doing it for low bankroll reasons so I'm not sure how long the long run will be... |
