Meat And Potatoes Real Life Good Question

PS: All your If's dont make sense together.

"He is calling all small reraises?" Why would he do that?

Why would he push AK so often? That is horrible.

sklansky,

these are all math questions once you assign all the probabilites and tell us exactly how our opponents will act with which cards.

when stacks get deep against a very good player, you dont want to be calling/reraising with KK when your opponent is only full of it 10% of the time.

sklansky,

"these are all math questions once you assign all the probabilites and tell us exactly how our opponents will act with which cards."

They are supposed to be math problems. But unlike some of my others, I postulated a strategy similar to how an actual tight, tricky, player might play (I think you might not have realized his Aks are suited.) It has always been my stance that assigning probabilities is not something easily taught but those who are good at it are still doomed if they don't know how to translate their assignments into the right play.

"when stacks get deep against a very good player, you dont want to be calling/reraising with KK when your opponent is only full of it 10% of the time."

Even though you have a good hand that is clearly favored to be best? Only one other poster agrees with you. So how can you not think this is a good question?

i think this is a good question and leads to why position is so important in nl with any hand that you have. I have yet to hear an answer from anyone on this site. Personally I do not take math into the equation here as much as i should and because of it my play probably is not the positive ev that others might have. I smooth call with kk in this spot and then depending on what is on the flop i check 80 percent of the time to see how his betting pattern is comparable to other times I have played against him when he has had aa shown down in those situations.
