Re: Player Discussion
I'm sure this is not the case but Mason seems to have based every explination so far on a very specific senario that includeds both ingnoring preflop action (which is a huge part of the hand) and implying that the player with AQs will somehow know that he is up against JJ and will therefore play postflop perfectly. Its been assumed for example that if the flop comes Kxx then JJ will automatically drop to a CR.
The key question in NL is nearly always, who is under pressure. In this hand it is clearly the AQ, no flop bar KJT makes him happy. Even if I flop AQx I'm going to have to worry because AA and QQ are perfectly possible given the preflop action. JJ holds all the cards here, better position, better preflop action, a better hand heads up and far greater potential for making the best hand over the second best. I'm prepared to accept that I'm wrong but it seems that the great and the good of the forum are of one voice. A justification of AQs or a retaction would be good.
