and yes, of course 76 will be sad to get it all in vs. AA preflop and is -EV for the 76 guy. but both players understand simply WHY!! there doesn't seem to be that understanding of why by the followers here

[/ QUOTE ]

Both players understand why because in the case of poker odds there isn't a sophisticated social and political mechanism that selects for incomplete information. If people came up with elaborate justifications to explain why getting it in with the 76 is a good idea, the people who insist it isn't don't also need elaborate justifications in order for their reasoning to be perfectly sound.

there is no possible justification to knowingly calling 76 vs. AA if your goal is to maximize EV and you know AA is held.

on the other hand, there are circumstances that can exist where the "printing of money by the fed" doesn't devalue the dollar.
