Re: What size kicker to go broke with in HU play
Going all-in w top-pair mediocre kicker against an unkown opponent in the early fase of a HU-sng is a bad idea. I would start thinking about going all-in with KQ, maybe KJ, but the stacks are still pretty big for an all-in with a possibly/likely beaten toppair hand.
People play a lot more ragged Aces than ragged Kings, so I think you run a bigger risk of running into 2-pair if you encounter serious resistance on an Ace-high flop and you have an ace yourself. If villain raises pre, bets the flop and reraises your flop-raise, you can be pretty sure a ragged Ace is beaten. Again, id start thinking about going to the wire with AJ, or ATs with a backdoor flush working, which effectively gives you one extra out. Goldmund
