Default Re: 10NL: AKs gets challenged preflop HU. What\'s your move?

I would tend to think that his range is wide until he has proven he will think on multiple levels.
I think a range of like 66+/AT+/KJ+ would be reasonable. That is pretty wide, but he could be doing this with SC's and lower PP's too so it gives you an idea.

So, it is just a matter of putting this range in poker stove and seeing how you do against it. You need a number higher than about 47%. I would tend to make the call here, but it probably is pretty close either way.

lol

you should probably spend some time with pokerstove

You've invested only 4bb in here and you can find a spot with more equity to put your money in.
My guess is his range here is 88+, AQ+ and I'd want more dead money in to make this call.

burning money folding, plus you see more random Ax hands than AQ, and you crush them

See, thereīs two questions to answer:
a. is calling +EV? (if so, it wonīt be much.)
b. do you want to pay the price (very high variance) for that potential small EV gain?

[/ QUOTE ]

question 1 is what is his range
question 2 is what is my equity vs that range
question 3 is, is my equity higher than breakeven

[ QUOTE ]
Just in case you give up some +EV by folding, itīs not enough to get upset about.

you could easily have $1.35 in equity edge which is about 7ptbb which is a lot to just give up
