10/20 AK preflop

I want to know more about the players than just mined hands.

If that's all I got, I suppose it's a fold, but it's sure not one I'm good enough to make.

I think you have to be a much, much better player to call than fold.

What do you want to know that stats don't tell you? How often someone checks the flop after they coldcap or something?

[B Dids]

Umm.. what they will cold cap with?

I got cold capped with 99 yesterday (and folded A8o preflop- go me!). If I know he'll do that, I might call.

My point regarding "goodness" was just that I tend to call in spots like this where I should fold. Nothing about postflop skill or anything.

We will rarely have enough data, either from mining or from observation-based reads, to know the answer to this question and be able to make decisions based on it.

easy fold.

what do you do with QQ and JJ is more interesting imo.

[calmasahinducow]

Fold JJ and call QQ

i dont really agree with that.. i'd almost be inclined to call with almost any pair.. nevermind high pairs.. at least w/ small pairs you're drawing to live outs. i call w/ JJ and QQ hoping to spike a set.. if you dont.. BYE BYE! :-)

[calmasahinducow]

Although now that I think about it, there's really no effective difference between JJ and QQ in this spot

I was at the table and thought the fold was right. We found out over the next 50 or so hands that the capper was a huge moron who decided to give away all his money but at the time it seemed like the right move.

How can anything other than folding be considered [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]? You'd need some pretty strong reads to play this, certainly more than we have from those stats.

AK is a drawing hand.
