The EV of Sex

SossMan · #1 11-01-2004, 06:38 PM

I played in one of my monthly home games on Friday night. The cash game goes from 7pm-11pm (this month was 3-6 omaha8 w/ a kill) and then a $40 NL hold'em tourney starting at 11. There are actually some decent players in the game, but I would consider myself in the top 3 in the tourney (out of about 20 or so that play each week).

Anyway, while waiting for the tourney to start, my cell phone buzzes, and I see that it's my girlfriend. I tell her that I'm up a couple hundred. She indicates to me that coming home would be in my...ahem...personal best interest (she used less ambiguous terms). I tell her that I'll play real crazy in the beginning, that way I will either have a big stack and finish well, or....bust out and finish well. Now, I live with my g/f, but I have been with her for 5 years, so if I come home at 2, I may very well have to wait for 3 or 4 more days to have sex.

Anyway, she goes on and on, and my cell phone mysteriously cuts out right when the hands are being dealt.

So, I get stuck with the big blind on the first hand. Blinds start at 25/50 with t2000 stacks, no rebuys, 13 min rounds (don't ask). It will take about 2 hrs to get to bubble time, maybe 3 hrs to finish (16 people).

I pick up black 66 on the BB. Weak Cutoff who is scared of me limps, very good dude who isn't scared of me completes in the SB.
I figure I have the best hand, so I try to make a 5x raise, but misread the chip colors and only end up raising it to 150 (3xBB). They both call.

SB checks, I bet t400, CO folds, SB pushes, I insta-call.

Go big or go big at home.

Let me guess. He has a 4 and you both end up happy [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think the PV of this hand clearly outweighs the EV. I play it the same way every time.

I hope he had a four.

I was actually hoping to get an actual discussion of the hand, since I thought it was interesting beyond the metagame considerations.

Any guesses as to a range of hands for him?

SB has AhKh and makes a fearless play, reading you for an overpair.

You double up, and wonder why you aren't getting any for 3 more days.

you really think he would call twice with AKs preflop?

He has 27o and goes home to bang your woman.

He's in the SB and he's tricky. You got me? lol...

In this case I have no idea what he holds [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
