Calling Ranges
I'm redusting off some bits by Sklansky lately. Assume your opponent has a 3% vpip.
Thus, his range is AA-JJ & AK.
Now, looking at the charts, assuming he has moved all in on me, and I am getting 2-to-1 on the call, then I autocall with AA-TT & AK
The TT really has me pondering. Of all the hands but one, I am a severe underdog. And the only hand that doesn't have me crushed, is a coinflip. This seems very strange to me.
I have been trying to figure out why TT of all things would be in there, and the only thing I can make sense of, is 2 broadway straight blockers & counterfeit protection?
Trying to use some common sense, I feel if we add TT might as well add in 99 then. Not only is it still a coinflip vs AK, but also fairs the save vs the over pairs. In fact, the smaller our pairs are, the less of an underdog they become to the higher pairs, 4.1 - 4.5 dog range.
Now if Sklansky says you can call with TT here, then I'll believe him. Just looking for further explanation. Am I somewhat right on my guesses?
