calling horrible, I would either 4-bet shove or just 4-bet standard. Fold isnt an option I dont think.

I think this is a pretty interesting thread, I am certainly still trying to get my barings but...

I think a large part of the decision to call,4 bet or push comes from how the oppent views you. If he sees you as a TAG pushing will probably mean AA or KK to him and he's gonna fold. In other words your FE is pretty high.

If he sees you a bit looser than I think calling is the right play (given his range) and playing poker. And here your FE is pretty low.

Maybe this is a basic idea but I think it should be said.

Grunch, good post -- some interesting concepts that really got me thinking.

There's a big difference between saying "I hate calling" and "calling is horrible."

Which are you saying?

Suppose that we have a villain who only 3-bets with the goods. Give him a range of {AA, KK, QQ, AK}. That's 3 +3 +6 +9 = 21 combinations of hands he could hold (given that we hold AK). Let's assume that he folds all but AA and KK to a push. You therefore have about 18.5% equity when called.


[/ QUOTE ]

I absolutely hate these assumptions. Both on the 3-Bet assumption, and the call assumption. I don't think it's even remotely close to reality.

Did you read my post?

If you did, you'd see that I didn't assume anything.

I was illustrating that the correct play depends on the villain's range by describing a situation in which folding is clearly correct, and comparing it to another situation in which folding is terrible.

Are we playing semantics now? Lame. But oh well:

[ QUOTE ]
Let's assume in this case that he calls a push with QQ+

[/ QUOTE ]
You gave two separate ranges, or as I call them, "assumptions." You can't make EV calcs without them. I don't think either range is realistic in either case. You can make an argument for folding KK if a villain will only push with AA, but we don't do that because it's not realistic to assume that.
