Stop n\' go allin?
Recallme started a thread recently in which he asks about the minimum pocket pair to push over a BB reraise from SB, when the BB seems pot committed. Recallme's thread reminded me of a much earlier thread by Greg Raymer, which I believe dealt with similar situations in tournaments.
I think Raymer's thread argued that you shouldn't 4-bet allin if you have a hand like 99 that you are going to felt when you know you have no fold equity PF. Instead, you should call the reraise and open-push any flop (even AK2). This is because the times in which you occasionally get folds from hands that dominate you (e.g., 1010) or still have decent equity in a big pot (e.g., when opponent has AQ preflop and flop comes K27) makes this more profitable. I'm curious what the flaw is in this thinking, because I don't really see people using this move. Most people just push over PF with 99 or whatever if they are going to felt.
