Two Big Blind Hands

[shadow29]

It's late, so I'm not doing combinatorics. You severely underestimate the shitiness of SH opponents. He could have a 3 or a 2 here. K and A high call down too. Sometimes Q high. I think that this is a very clear value bet.

(Assuming we're talking about having the lead in betting, very much stolen from chess theory.) There are a couple other reasons to have the initiative besides wanting him to fold, I'll let the forum figure 'em out though. I was sorta looking for a different answer. You got it right though when you said, "when you have an opponent that won't fold", but I was looking for something else. To be honest, I don't know what that "something else" is, but it's out there. I think I've even had an IRL discussion on it, too. But it was in the winter, so I don't remember.
