Re: HU rake considerations in split pot games
[ QUOTE ]
There's a game theory equilibrium point here, I think it's something like always betting your potential scoop hands, and betting your low-only hands around 30% of the time -- but the exact fraction depends on pot size and how often you actually have a scooping hand.
The idea is to bet just enough of your one way hands that your opponent can't profitably fold when he has unimproved Aces

Unless your board is superscary, your opponent with unimproved aces has to call essentially all of the time anyway.
So, unless your one-way hand is showing three connected cards or a three-flush, you are guaranteed a call if you bet a scoop draw.
How often should you bet a low-lock with no high draw in order that your opponent is indifferent to calling or folding? More than 100% of the time.
Jam your low locks.
