Default Theory question, heads up.

I was just in this situation. Heads up. We both have T4000. Blinds are 250/500. We have had a few preflop all in races go back and forth up to this point. Just for this question, lets assume we are of equal skill.

Villian open raises all-in. Im in BB with 2,2. I was almost certain he doesn't have a pair. Hence a coin flip if I call. Now is this a situation in which I exploit any edge and call? Since im almost certain I'm ever so slightly ahead. Comments.

Equal skill? Take the edge.

Villain's stronger? Take the edge.

Villain's weaker? Scratch your chin, look at the ceiling, take the edge.

I would call, then watch the board show 2 pair and lose with my 2 kicker. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Even if your opponent is pushing any ace any broadway cards and K5+ and suited connectors doen to 78, and any pair 22 does not have an edge.

What if the range included K2+ (not K5+)?

Making it 5+ seems like a sneaky way to make a point.

I don't see how you can be positive he's not pushing with a pair unless he's pushed every hand so far with the exception of a minraise with every pair he's had. Liar.

Anyways, I probably fold here and push the very next hand almost regardless. I would rather lose because I pushed and he caught a hand rather then lose because I called and his hand was slightly better. Wait, does that make any sense. Is everyone ]on the forum now dumber because of my post?

If you are playing against a player who plays well, this is a very easy call.

they are all terrible, they all fold too much from the bb, so you can fold and attack the next hand and the one after. holla
