Default Re: Here\'s a good example

In this case, villain's 2nd position raise with (KT)A has a lot of advantages, even if the books say it is not a playable hand. It is similar to raising from early position with a suited connector in holdem (limit, PL, or NL).

Notice that villain is raising with a marginal hand, not calling or limping with one. This is a typical technique of good players in a strong game.

You have a good chance to steal the antes. If that doesn't work, you can represent split aces or a razz hand if the board is right. If you do hit your hand, your opponent is not likely to read it correctly. There is a lot of deception involved in this play.
