Default Re: Analysis

[ QUOTE ]
The greater point is that nobody worries about giving a free card on an Axx flop with JJ to a guy who will call re-raises out of position with a hand like AQs and who will also never bet the hand on an ace high or queen high board. The guy is obviously loose-passive and therefore JJ's play on an ace high flop is simply to check/fold unless he hit a set.

exactly my point.

this problem illustrates more the player A's depth of knowledge about player B's postflop tendencies and the lack of information player b has on player A's postflop play rather than whether AQ is better than JJ.

in fact if it was the case that hands like AQ would call a preflop reraise, then it begs the question whether JJ should reraise preflop in the first place.

what the whole thing boils down to is that JJ's strategy (reraising preflop and autobetting the flop ) on the whole is +ev against player A's range but player A can exploit this the specific times that he has AQ and player B has JJ, but loses out much much more the times that player B has anything else in his reraising range.
