QQ

[citanul]

hm, there's some work to be done here about icm stuff when there's chips in the pot, but do you really want the action to be:

you raise, sb pushes, bb folds, action to you?

at some point the other guys are short enough that if you put the big stacked aggressor on a reasonable range, you're supposed to fold hands as good as qq because of the soon to bust guy. i haven't even considered putting this stuff through icm, but i'd think that the next variation on eastbay's program could have something to help with this.

this is intimately related to pushing is good and calling is bad.

i push preflop here, especially at the higher level games. i don't do much of the double reverse psychology stuff preflop. except for rare spots, when the blinds are large, all my moves look the same. most of the thinking players i've played with would see a trap like this a mile away i'd think, part of the small player pool problem.

just some random thoughts.
