Default Re: Analysis

he didn't actually say what you are saying he said. The part you quoted only says that he will fold every time he does not flop at least a pair if the AQ is unsuited. He then goes on to add in trickiness (the El D discussion) and suitedness.

I think he went way too general in there though. I mean, he basically said "it'll be offset by tricky play which will be offset by the fact that you're soooooooted and there will be other factors as well and my gut feel is your expectation remains positive."

But bottom line it comes down to the fact that he's basically advocating a weak tight strategy as being effective. "Optimal play with AQs when reraised is to call a flop bet oop if you flop a pair or big draw, and fold if you don't. Don't call a second bet, though. And hope that your opponents aren't good players."

The whole thing leaves me feeling a little ill...
