Re: PF Raising Logic

[ QUOTE ]
I think I take a very different approach to PF play than most ppl and I wanted to know y there is so much reason for let's say re-raising AK pf. To me, it seems that when ur raising AQ or AK pf, although it's true that ur def ahead of their range and could say ur raising for value, isn't it also true that the hands ur ahead of (kq,kj,k10,gj,g10,a10,aj,a9s) will fold out and if u get called u prob either have the same hand or a hand like a small pp or sc which isn't likely to play a big pot unless ur crushed. So, it seems more reasonable to cold call with hands like aq and win big pots when ppl flop an ace with a jack kicker etc. I'm still unsure about blind defending since I do think there is a lot of value in getting as much in pf and therefore cutting down the post flop edge of position, but i think u have to balance the fact that a lot of worse hands will fold out into ur considerations. As for re-raising pp, I see 3-betting small pps as essentially the same as 3-betting SCs (deceptive and hoping to flop big hands) and i c big pocket pairs being fine with raising since u r usually gonna get called by worse pocket pairs all day long, along with the profitable possibiltiy of getting it in pf (whereas I try and avoid getting AK and def AQ in pf). I wanna make sure i'm not saying u should never 3-bet these hands as that is obviously exploitable, just saying that to me, auto-pot mashing against a raise with AQ seems to have some considerable downsides. Also, against loose fishes, its obviously different since they r calling pf very light. Any thoughts?

If you used entire words, and separate paragraphs, your post would be easier to read. As is, it appears to be a huge jumble of lower case letters with lots of 1-letter abbreviations.
I don't like to make grammar nazi posts, but I honestly can't tell what you're trying to ask. The only question mark is after "any thoughts." Any thoughts about what?

grammar nazis r losers... this is 2p2 an internet forum not my english HW, zomg abbreviations r standard, ldo... he even used punctuations and capitals to begin new sentences several times
OP ur message was fine to read, if the guy had any real useful response to ur question he would have given it
all I can say is that ur thinking about this issue seems to clearly be off, folding AQo in the blinds or vs tight early raises is fine (cold calling sux tho) but 3betting mid- low PPs should not be the norm while cold calling AK should never be done, post specific preflop spots in the strat forums to find out what to do when with which hands. One thing I will say is 3betting these hands (and latter SCs when u get better) is valuable to expand ur 3betting range so players cant play perfectly vs it and just fold JJ and lower without thought, it makes them make more mistakes and u get more action with ur big PPs and other hands in position but u should know what ur plan is for after u 3bet when he calls and u flop or dont or when he 4bets
