Default Re: Minimum hand to call.

He can have a lot more than that, but many of the hands would check behind on the river IMO. Like if he has 9x there, he is going to think to himself "wow a lot of bets have gone in this pot, I definitely could have scared a better hand into just check/calling me". You think LAGs don't 3 bet the turn with the hands I mention ever? I mean the ace is like the "everything has changed" card and a lot of crazy things happen on ace high boards.

Look how big the pot is, he only has to have one of the hands I mention a pretty small percentage of the time to justify a call. I feel like we can eliminate a lot of thin value bets from his range and when a guy's range is polarized to "monster" and "bluff" and the pot has that many bets in it, it doesn't need to be "bluff" very often.
