Re: Player Discussion
OOHHH!! So wrong as far as I'm concerned. Maybe this argument holds true in limit, but in NL? no way. No reasonable nl player in his right mind is going to pay off AQs when the hand hits... any A or Q and JJ should shut down to any serious action from the other player. Any non A,Q will shut down the AQ player. So, you would think you're at a standstill, but let's look what happens when each player hits a monster, for implied odds...
AQ = flop AQx. Or XsXsXs. Either way, what moron is playing JJ to pay this off.
JJ = Flop AJ5. DING DING DING. Basically, I think we see that JJ is the easier hand to play, it's slightly better in the cointoss and it's implied odds are MUCH higher than AQs, since there is NO way JJ will pay off AQs except for the rare Js8s2s flop, but even there JJ should be cautious. I just don't see how AQs has nearly the implied odds that JJ does.... then again, I don't write books
