Re: Sort of Theory Post
Bobby and Cero,
You've both made some really good points. One particular important aspect is that, as I think Cero pointed out, this type of situation isn't that common (although, I find it becoming more and more common). Obviously there are a wide range of hands that a player might do this with.
Poker is a game of gaining information. I still don't see much value in calling with A10, but I can see valid reasons for folding with air/hands like A10. However, when you make this play, you can't really guage what kind of a hand someone is doing this with. If you make the raise, you definitely can get a better idea. I guess that brings up the other question Bobby pointed out, how much will I see the same players at 5/10 or 10/20 games that gaining this information will matter?
This is a lot of thinking. My head hurts.
