Question on having equity all in versus another hand
If my hand has an equity of 51% versus another hand, does that automatically mean there is a way to play it that is profitable for me 1v1, even if I'm out of position? I remember reading something like this...

Re: Question on having equity all in versus another hand
That depends on whether your opponent will call your all-in. If he will, you both will lose equity to the rake. If there's better than about a 4% chance (depending on the rake, obviously) he'll fold against your all-in, you gain equity by moving in. If you're playing in a game with a time charge, your all-in gains equity. Note that this is not recommended on a short bankroll unless there's a "good" (you define it - I'd say 10% or better, but I'm pretty aggressive even when money is tight) chance he'll fold to your push.

I'm not talking about moving all in, I am talking about, blind stealing, if little blind has 51% equity on big blind, does that mean he will always profit by coming in for a raise to steal?

Re: Question on having equity all in versus another hand
If you cannot (or will not) move in, you can easily have the worst of it despite your microscopic mathematical edge. If the big blind is a better player, the small blind's best play (by a healthy margin) is to fold. Otherwise he will be playing what is by definition a marginal hand, out of position, against a (relatively speaking) tough player.
Also, the most common scenario that fits your criteria would be playing a small pair against suited, weakly connected overcards (EG 22 vs AKs or T6s). In this case, your opponent's playing advantage is large; if he bluffs or semi-bluffs at anything close to correct frequency, you will be easily losing money against him whether you call his bets or fold to them. |

Re: Question on having equity all in versus another hand
ok, but lets say I play perfectly, does my being out of position and other factors still make it so my 51% equity is automatically good? do you have any idea what +ev position is worth lol? obviously its different for different hands
