Default Re: Rainkhan and the 33 versus Alex Kravchenko

[ QUOTE ]
It doesn't seem to make a huge difference calling there with a nit in the BB who will rarely call or overshove. The problem is if Rahme has exactly AK and overshoves, we fold the best hand.

Rahme shoving is not a "problem." Rahme's shoving range from the BB there if Khan calls is extremely tightand if he does push, I know Kravchenko is about a 3:1 underdog and 33 is at least 2:1.

One of the most common mistakes people make playing tournament poker is to call a big bet because not every hand in the opponent's range beats yours. This "you might fold the best hand if he has exactly *blank*" is fish-talk.
