Re: Another Strategy, AQo in MP
[ QUOTE ]
As far as whether it should be posted here, I like that some hands are posted...breaks up the monotony of what to buy, Kems or Copags...or whether so-and-so was cheating. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah but what happens is one person posts strat questions and before you know it 5 others post and home poker becomes a de facto strat forum.

Fold. At best you are a coinflip here. Do you want to flip coins or play poker? This isn't a tournament. It's a clear fold. [/ QUOTE ] It might be a fold, but this advice is lol.

Re: Another Strategy, AQo in MP
Care to explain how my advice is bad?
He's at best a coinflip and most likely beat. He's in what I interpret as clearly a -EV situation. If he were desperate in a tournament this would be a clear push on the strength of the Ace alone. AQ is not a hand you want to put a lot of weight in pre-flop (lol?). In a cash game any -EV play is a clear fold.

If any of the hands that OP has dominated are in the villain's range, then that shifts the balance, especially if the villain is not playing a small pair here. B) Fold equity (though OP doesn't say how much more behind they had)

[/ QUOTE ] What range of solid hands is OP ahead of here? My range for solid hands would be any medium to large pair, AK, AQ, AJ, KQ. He's not +EV against that range, and the likelyhood of villain holding AJ and KQ is much lower so the EV drops even more. I guess I might be giving the villain too much credit here? And b) since the villain is all-in for $16, there isn't any fold equity. Based on these new developments, and in the context of the information provided, can you please again try to explain how wrong my play was here?

Re: Another Strategy, AQo in MP
Well, I said that I would post up some hands, but I didnt write any down. i will give a couple, but this should actually probably go into BBV under "brags" since I destroyed the game! A couple highlights:
-early on, before I was up big, I bluffed a guy off pocket aces with a gutshot draw...he put me on a set and folded face up. I about lost my jaw on that one (talk about respect). -I had aces one time and they stood unimproved against two players...nice pot. -I had pocket queens 4 times and they went 4-0! Yeah, mop-squeezers! -last hand of the night, it is three handed: me and two LAG's left. I runner-runner a flush (10:clubs:7 :clubs  , SB bets $20, BB allin for $41, i call, SB calls. BB flips A:clubs: 5:clubs:, SB flips 9:clubs: 6:clubs: . Good hand to call it a night on. I still finished up 6.5 buy-ins after dumping almost $50 on that last hand. Whew, big night.
