The PFR's range includes broadway and down to 99.

The PFR's range is broader than that. Mathematically, I already outlined what the "top 11%" of hands are. He's raising more hands than that from MP3. Here's a strictly 11% range:

99+,A9s+,KTs+,QTs+,ATo+,KJo+

Before you tell me I'm wrong again, give me an estimate for SB's range. AA and KK are less likely due to his aggression preflop -- it is likely but not certain that he would 3-bet with those hands. If we say he'll "defend" his SB with 8% of his hands, that's 88-AA, AJo+, ATs+.

Against two opponents with that range of hands, your preflop equity is 37.5%.

I still think you do not fully appreciate how tight these players were, based on your top 11% calculations. I did not have enough hands with them to have any faith in that calculation. What I could have faith in though was the fact that I had not once in 4 hours at the table seen either one show anything but big broadways and high pairs down.

So basically you are expecting me to push a very thin (and possibly non-existent) PF equity advantage against two players that have a good chance of being ahead of me, out of position against a raise. That does not seem wise to me.

Did you post this hand because you were sure you played it perfectly and wanted us to all see how awesome you were?

No, but I think your analysis is flawed.

Um okay. Whether I'm right or not, I just didn't find your reasoning convincing. People can disagree without being disagreeable.

Edit: I am curious about other people's thoughts though, since the preflop equity argument simply doesn't do it for me. Now that I think about it more, a mistake I made on the hand was checking the river, for example. I should have bet and called a raise, I think.

I think I can sum up the problem here in a couple words Tilt: You are simply to convinced of your "great" reads.

Loosen up the horse blinders a little bit - they're obviously too tight. Get over your pokertracker stats. Realize that all the comments by numerous great posters has been dead on here. No one is coming to your defense. As I pointed out in QTip's thread a couple days ago - when you're trying to defend yourself and two, three or more posters are disagreeing with you - 99% of the time they're right and YOU'RE wrong.

Ya know - I was playing against a worse rock than either of these guys the other night. He was something like 9/2/.5 over 500+ hands. I caught him open-raising 99 UTG+1. Stop thinking that the possible is "obviously" impossible just because you had a read. It is possible and it will happen - especially at PartyPoker [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm not going to delve into what I think the right line is here because it's already been mentioned several times. Listen to others, learn, apply, repeat.

Good Luck [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You're probably right. I've just learned to fear the worst from the rocks at 3-6, I guess.

For what it's worth, the guy showed KQo and I took the pot without getting in a raise at any point or a bet on the river. All the comments on here were in fact dead on. He was raising somewhat light and betting light on every street, and I totally misread both him and the SB.
