I guess there are people who will play AJ this way, but I doubt they're still in the tournament at this point.

This is probably the 1st 25 hands.

Exactly why I question anyone putting villain on a range of hands WE would be playing. If you overvalue their hand or undervalue, you're in trouble either way. They don't all play like we do, and they aren't all donkeys. At this point, we can't know which is which.

Likewise, the size of the reraise PF makes a difference? If he's got a hand, he calls. If he's a donkey, he calls.

Raising alerts a good player we've either got a hand, or we know we have position on them. Raising doesn't tell a donkey anything. Again, we don't know. If he's a good player, we're toast. If he's a donkey, we've tossed away a bunch of chips.

As played it played out, it was as if positions were reversed. You either put pressure on them, or play small ball. Anything in between costs you chips.
