AA - 0.5/1.0 Party... protect or get out?

I don't see how a threshold for PFR of 20% will start to make you think you are beat. FYI, he was raising first in with T9o, 34s, etc. I had almost no read on his hand here.

Ok... let's say that this player is actually about a PFR of 5%.... then you have him beat.... Period. It's easy... what can he raise pf w/ that he beats you with? Nothing.

OK... now let's increase it to 10%. Now you may have to worry about a set, but he's a little to early to raise anything that will make a set from this board.

15% pfr.... now we start to see any PP being raise pf. You may be against a set (granted a low % chance).

20% pfr.... suited connectors, PPs, suited aces and such appear here.... time to get a little worried.

Now, in saying that, someone w/ pfr of 1% will raise KK, as someone with pfr of 75% will raise KK. These hands exist through the levels of pfr.

I'm just saying that if the LAP has a pfr of less than 20%, you really don't have to worry too much about being beat. You will be good more often than not.

Posting results doesn't help so much in discussing the strategy for this hand, but off the top of my head it does serve two useful purposes.....

Yeah... don't worry about it. I felt the same for a long time (I always felt like I had to post results)... Now, I like not knowing the results... I think it makes everyone a better player by not becoming results oriented.

Thanks for your response.

I'll get back to you on what his exact PFR was. I think it was higher than 10% though. 11 rings a bell, but I'll have to look it up. It's probably also not near statistically significant.
