why does everyone assume whatever stox does is law.

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont. But Stox has to my knowledge and as opposed to you presented empirical results which shows that 22 is +EV in CO.

That doesnt mean however that everyone reading SSSH should open with 22 in the CO 100%.

Nor does it mean that Stox results are actually correct since I am sure that the databases they use have an insufficient sample size to conclude anything in this matter.

All you have presented on this matter and other matters regarding preflop plays is claims made in your usual arrogant and dickish tone.

i'm right here, i'm telling you raising 22 here is a losing play.


[/ QUOTE ]

Please present results with EV and variance, calculated t-values and probabilities that 22 is -EV in the CO.

If you cant please stop claiming that you know something you only think you know since claiming stuff you dont know is pretty useless and counterproductive.


[ QUOTE ]
if you disagree, then please, continue to raise 22 in the CO.

[/ QUOTE ]

I will. Is it ok if I only raise it once in a while when I think its +EV?


[ QUOTE ]
On other thing to consider, I usually play at tables where there is a lot of green.


[/ QUOTE ]

Congrats. So do I. But i am pretty sure that most readers dont give a [censored] about which stakes you play. However, most of us give a [censored] about arguments presented in a proper fashion using good reasoning and non-dickish tones.


[ QUOTE ]
so raising here, and getting called in 2 places, and betting the flop and getting 2 guys to call with any pair, or both call with nothing, this is not a situation you want with 22.


[/ QUOTE ]

As we all know this is the only possible outcome of playing 22 in the CO.


PS. You are a nit
PPS. Have you considered the possibility that 22 is +EV for some but not for you?
PPPS. If I come as a jerk it is fully intended. IMO your posts are useless more often than not.

my "green" comment was meant to be taken as this, I play with 4 fish and 1 pro and me. Lots of green, means high VPIP, low PFR, low aggression, not high stakes.

and yes, I can come off as a dick.

I know there are tons of players on AP better than me, that's why I avoid them.

I'm a 25/17/2

If I played at some horrible tables like the rest of the tags, I would have a chance to get my vpip and pfr up, but since 2 fish limp in, I can't raise A3o on the button.

The point is, I'm a good player, but not the best. For me, raising 22 here is burning money.

If I'm losing money, the people with less experience will too.

If you can play this hand profitably from the CO, then do it, but most people here aren't as good as you.

My post provide westley/ilp entertainment, and he has asked me not to stop, so I cannot.
