Default Re: AQ river and maybe preflop/flop/turn

By the way, the reason I just call pre-flop is you very well may not want to be knocking the original player out, and your equity edge is very marginal.

Hands that you normally get to knock out from a thinking player are, A8-AJo, KT-KJo (maybe KQo) the only hands you want out are the king type hands. The ace type hands you want in the pot in case you hit both hit a pair of aces and get payed off. You also dont have to worry about an over pair to a queen if you hit your queen..

With a pocket pair pair like TT that also has a marginal equity advantage, you almost certaintly want to cap because all the hands you knock out are good for you.

You are probaibly looking to hit the flop in order to take down the pot anyway.. perhaps pre-flop intiative is worht it im not sure.. Youll be taking down the rare pot you would have folded.. But youll also be furthering your investment when you miss, which will happen much more frequently.. Not sure the value of that.
