Re: Sort of Theory Post
Ok, seeing as I'm the one responsble for creating this fascinating debate I must chime in.
I think the situation I'm most curious about is, raising with any two or not. I'm not sure I see a huge difference with raising A10 and raising any two when bet into like this. Granted I don't play 5/10 and I'm a huge attiyeh-esque donkey, but what are the chances this goes to showdown? If you raise here, if called or raised (especially raised), aren't you resigned to the fact that you are beat. How comfortable are you putting any more money into the pot past the flop? Wouldn't the same thing apply with any 2. If he checks the turn, are you willing to push push here with just A10?
Ezra, you say you wouldn't raise any two here because when he calls, it will cost too much and you won't have the outs. But aren't you done with the hand anyway when he does call, just as the case if you had any two? If you are gonna raise with A10 here post flop when you are the pfr, why wouldn't you do it with a hand like KQ or JJ. I understand showdown value, but like I said, does this hand really go to showdown often?
I do agree with yelling after raising with any 2 and having him fold, but I beleive it calls for the Mattias level "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!"
