Bluff over obvious hand
 

So when villain min 3 bets me pre i basically give him credit for QQ+. When A hits that greatly reduces chance of AA, and since theres no FD out i don't have to worry about him talking himself into thinking i'm pulling move. Thoughts?

Also, is this to thin pre? It seems to me i'm getting roughly 10 to 1 and he's going to stack off to a 7 almost every time.

Re: Bluff over obvious hand
 

Sure, I'd probably do the same.

The question is, is AK part of his range. If so, we have AK (12), AA (1), KK (6), QQ (6), maybe JJ (~3), so risking 3200 to win 3200 is pretty breakeven EV wise.

If we can discount AK some, which I think we can, then its clearly +EV.


Preflop is perfectly fine in a tourney with these stacks.
