Re: Curtains hand #2
[ QUOTE ]
Even if its not a LAG, you cant make a plan that involves folding 66 headsup with 18x the BB. Do you realize the K+S number for 66 is something like 57x the BB. You must play this hand in a fashion that doesn't allow you to fold no matter what, and I believe this is true against all opponents. You just dont know when someone is going to get fancy with QTs, A5s, 44 etc etc [/ QUOTE ] I think I disagree with your thinking here Curtains. The K&S number just shows that it is more profitable to push than to open fold here. But it says nothing about when you are played back at like you were. You need to re-evaluate after it gets back to you. Against certain opponents, a fold here to the push would surely be correct. |

Re: Curtains hand #2
The K+S number is just too high compared to the money in play and most people's ranges will be too loose in a headsup battle like this. Im not saying that there arent a select number of people in which folding may be correct, but they are pretty rare IMO. |

Re: Curtains hand #2
Simply put, raising to 125 with the idea of folding to an allin, is too absurd for me to fathom in this spot.

Re: Curtains hand #2
You already said this, but it's a little burried now; I think it is better to make the initial raise bigger.
edit: nmind, you said the same again to pineapple. |

Just be careful using terms like 'all' 'always' or 'never' around me. I'm a philosophy major. |

Re: Curtains hand #2

Re: Curtains hand #2
so how can you possibly fold against almost anyone with the chips already in the pot? This is a reasonably tight range too IMO.

I'm just saying, there exist players who won't reraise without TT+ there. Going into the hand knowing you will not fold against someone like that is a bad plan. |

Question though, if you were going to call an all-in raise by the LAG BB with your 66 then why not go all-in yourself first? That way you avoid this situation and if he happens to have a better pocket pair then you are still in the same boat as you would have been anyways and you get him to fold most of the "coin flip" hands that you don't really want to mess with at this point. Is it because you think that an all-in bet might make stealing more difficult later on? rvg |
