Question about hand ranges & equity (calling vs. raising, yada yada)

Oh, no no no. Dismissing slight equity edges is an enormous mistake. In fact, the difference between a losing player and a 20% ROI is identifying these slight equity edges. Literally. Over 1000 hands being suited will win you 40 extra hands. That's hardly too slight to ignore.

Indeed. Perhaps this knowledge will help make a difference between a 12 and 20 percent ROI. ^_^

So is it too early to ask which you prefer? It sounds to me like you're advocating the equity edge of KQ.

Depends on the range. Which, I think, depends on the position of your raise. Perhaps this one example is poor for SNGs. If I were to apply to a MTT, I think raising with KQs from MP (or pushing from there) would likely be better than ATo. However, from the button, ATo would be better. This is due to the fact that the calling ranges will be different.

Again, this one example shouldn't drastically affect play. It's more of a theoretical question, as I'm in the process of reevaluating my game.

Yes, but I still think it's different than what most people would assume. It surprised me a bit. One hand is not necessarily better than the other.
