Default Re: First time in 2007? 1/2NL

yeah. there was a good example of this in the newest sklansky i think. (NLHETP)

there were 2 scenarios assuming 100bb stacks (these arent the exact ones in the book but they serve the same purpose):


1) every time you get dealt AA and there is a person all-in before your action, you fold.

2) every time someone raises in EP, you call OTB with 27o



clearly hand 1 is a much worse play than hand 2 in isolation based on EV, but over the long run situation 2 is going to come up a ridiculous amount of times compared to situation 1, so 2 is really the bigger leak. its common sense when you think about it...you just have to think about it.
