Re: Turning a -EV draw into a +EV lead (micro theory)
Lots has been written and said about the power of being "first to the pot" in situations like this. The two points that you have to keep in mind in most micro online games is:
1) your fold-equity against most unknown opponents is zero;
2) see 1.
Slightly less important is that the board needs to be at least this uncoordinated to have any hope of it working. Make the 9 a jack, and you're getting called by any ace, king, ten or 9 out there.
