Default Re: Math question: folding an underfull

The hand ranges you put him on are inconsistant from one street to another.

Let's say his range is, KJs and KQs which I beat but also AA, KK, and AK which beat me

As for the turn and why I played it the way I did, I really didn't like this guy's flop check because the way he was playing it seemed unneccessary- like he was trying to let us catch up

You have to decide what he's doing with AA. Leaving that to one side, though, if his turn range is likely quads or trips why would you not be eager to get the money in.

Of course if I lead the turn he is going to likely fold all pocket pairs because he's tight and knows I am too.

So now you think he checks the flop with pocket pairs. Does he wants to let you catch up? On the turn, do expect him to bluff these pairs? If so why are you so confident in his river range?
[ QUOTE ]
he is either way behind, has a lock, or has a few outs to beat me that I can see

Pot control is not an issue here. Increasing your equity in a small pot is unimportant when you have a big edge in a big pot. Your only concern is to play the big pot as often as possible.
