Re: I dont know how to play mid pairs
[ QUOTE ]
what that means is that if you see a showdown with TT in a rr pot UI 0% of the time, then it is essentially a bluff. The value of the cards mean nothing (except that you can flop a set 1 in 8 times). Un fact, its not just about getting to sohwdown, we have to get to showdown, UI AND WIN over 0% of the time, or our hand is a bluff.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. You don't have to get to showdown to win the hand.
Let's say you're holding AKs in this situation, insta-reraise right? What if you were on the button?
How often do you get to showdown unimproved and win with AK? And yet it's my third biggest winner below AA and KK.
The rank of your hand is just one factor in many in determining these kinds of decisions, people call reraises all the time with Axs or small pairs and check/fold any flop where they miss. There's also nothing wrong with betting the flop and giving up on the hand.
I'll post more insight after I stop tilting from this online ban thing
