Re: Sort of Theory Post
Well, alright I'll rephrase. First of all I'm never talking about just the current hand, I find that sort of thinking to be wrong, it's like saying you dont have to push in certain situations with draws to get paid of with sets, when your current hand is a set and you're wondering how to play it, for example. Furthermore, alright, let's say it like this, raising with AT sucks (because of the obvious statement that worse hands fold and better hands call) and raising with any two (e.g air), in an isolated event, is better. And, against a non-thinking player I wouldn't mind it since you could probably repeat now and again without him thinking much about it, just folding his hand.
What I am saying is that a thinking player will understand that there is foolish to play a monster strong here, and will be very suspicious of your bet. I, for one, if I noted a raise in a scenario like this more than once from the same player wouldn't mind going on with air here, granted that the player has solid reasoning in a lot of other situations, making it likely that his raise is often a bluff. A maniac might raise AK for value here for example, and he's not gonna release his hand.
I don't know whether I'm able to explain this much further, it's just that a raise here has to be credible, and a raise here pretty much isn't, that's why I don't like it. That in addition to the fact that any real hands you have would be disastrous to raise because of the obvious better hands call/worse hands fold, which is pretty much why raising isn't credible in the first place.
I'm sorry you misunderstood me, I thought it was unclear at that point what was confusing, sorry if that got to you, no need to get aggravated is there?
