Reverse domination in deep games

[Andrew Fletcher]

It's really funny, because 97o was my first example. Then I edited it to be a little weaker. :-)

Think about this though... if you only played aces with better kickers you could get two pair over two pair!

a 3 is the new 33.

[Andrew Fletcher]

this is sort of a funny and interesting point.

I think the hard part is being able to fold top pair for one bet on flop, makes not paying off tough.

I think youre going to get in trouble with these hands.

Offsuit aces are bad. I personally NEVER play offsuit aces below AT, even shorthanded. AT and up can makes the nut str8, while A2 A3 A4 A5 cannot. A2 can also never make top two pair, and the other small aces will do so very rarely.

Xorbie's point about 2pr vs 2pr is a good one also.

In my experience small-medium offsuit aces are bad stacking hands. And you will be outkicked a lot in smaller pots. If you're playing against bad players, it may be working out for you, but even vs bad players there are many better hands for you to play.

I'm curious which game you're talking about that regularly runs 400bb deep.

it's a live game. I wouldn't try this online, it's easier to read people live.
