High Card Only Showdown

[CardRG]

For all of you who said you would bet the showdown with nothing but high cards, such as AK or AQ, what’s your response to being bet into?

Will you call a bet with nothing but A high or K high?

What’s the max number of bets you’d call with this kind of holding?

From an odds standpoint, if the pot is large enough are you ever so married to the pot (and is it ever strategically correct) to call at showdown no matter the number of bets and no matter the hand you hold? Even if the betting is capped?

Lastly, because your actions might result in you having to showdown a nothing hand, do you take your own table image into consideration here? And the impact on that image this exposure will generate.

Do you worry that now they'll see that you're a fraud and a phony? And the next time you find yourself in this or a similar situation those who've been paying attention might be more likely to put you on a bluff.
