Re: Do most .5/1 players fold Aces here?
BTW, can someone give me the argument FOR reraising preflop here...it seems like a pretty fundamental question.
As I see it, if I reraise (to ~$15) and Villain folds, I win a small pot.
If I reraise and Villain pushes, I am probably $15 -EV whether I call or fold.
If I reraise and Villain calls, I flop TPTK about 1/3 of the time:
- If I flop TPTK, I push the flop and usually win $15; sometimes I win $60 and rarely I lose $60.
- If I don't flop TPTK, I think I am forced to check-fold, right?...in which case I have lost $15. Any bet basically wins me $15 about half the time and loses me $60 half the time.
If I just call, I can win a decent pot when I flop I TPTK by check-raising the flop, and can try to judge the flop for bluffing opportunities and sometimes win without flopping a pair.
BTW, if I do flop TPTK, I think I am losing my entire stack in cases where the Villain has AA whether I reraise preflop or not. I can't away from that with only 60BBs.
