Re: On a resteal at 2/4 (high)- Bet into on 5th
[ QUOTE ]
It depends on what you think your opponent is representing on 5th. It's a weird bet but if you believe he is only on one pair I believe a peel shoud be +EV.
If you are up against 2 pair it's definitely a bad call.

I was thinking along these lines on 5th. His bet confused me; I actually felt like I was representing a wired pair, given the fact that there we 2 deuces dead. I'd expect most opponents to go for a check-raise on 5th if they made 2-pair or better, and I wouldn't expect AA to play this way either (I'd expect either some kind of aggression on 4th or a c/r here.) I suspected that his bet was probably something weak.
I opted to raise, figuring that unless I improved, I'd have position again on 6th, and I could check behind. So I raised, figuring there was a small chance he might fold, and that if he 3-bet, I was probably drawing nearly dead. (In retrospect, I think I probably should have just called here, since if villain happened to have 2-pair, I had lots of live runner-runner ways to beat him.)
