Re: Q9s marginal hand play
[ QUOTE ]
I think it's an absurd idea to try to divide his hand range into thirds and define the bottom third of his range to be the "calling" hands and the top two thirds to be the "raising" hands. The mixed AF is too vague to be read that way.

Okay, now I'm REALLY confused, because you're saying it's absurd to do exactly what you did, not what I said. So maybe you're saying I shouldn't have taken the example literally.... umm, ok.
I don't think it is absurd to say he calls his draws more than his 'made' hands, therefore he has to bet his made hands more than his draws. I wasn't dividing them up or classifying them into top thirds and bottom thirds ... or whatever.
Is it highly likely he bets a top pair, good kicker there? I think so. Does the fact that he's calling mean he's more than likely drawing? I think so.
What would I do if I had KQ? Probably raise. This is micros. And I'd be quite happy taking it on the flop, or even the turn with it and not giving someone a chance to spike their ace on the river.
I've never said I'm a very good player. I'm a winning player, but I still don't consider myself very good. So I'm quite willing to be wrong about what the best move is.... or what his best move is. All I know is that when I give people chances to beat me, they do.
