If you open-muck your AA, what could he possibly call your raises with? Metagame him, then run him over. [/ QUOTE ] You need a better hand to call a raise than to raise yourself. Gap Concept, heard of it? If you muck AA, then you're probably open-raising KK+. This means he has massive fold equity, and you're the one who gets metagamed. |

Awesome. Because I don't understand the math at all. I only know that the cards don't matter, and it's about how you play the player. [/ QUOTE ] You are right. But consider that you pick up 72o instead of aces. Would you consider calling because of metagame and to polarize your calling range a little bit? The cards don't matter, it is about unpredictability and psychology. |

Plus you don't want your opponent to think you are a calling station when you call the first hand. It is not good for your image and metagame.

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
Shocking that this hand begot four pages of analysis. I guess it wasn't that standard after all. I should have posted it in the strat section so it would be easier for Leader to sticky.
Thanks for your help guys. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
I'd call w/ the AA. You are probably looking at a chop, so you need to protect the money you already have in the pot.

I'd also fold the AA first hand.
there are only 2 outcomes if we call. We call and lose, or we call and win. So its 50/50, and we all know we need 52.5% to be able to breakeven due to rake. So unless you get great rb or just like to gamble go ahead. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
Best. Thread. Ever.
I love it, and I must say. You should only call AA first hand AI if you have a strong read on the player. And don't forget to polarize your range for optimal bluff calling. 23 ~50% and AA ~50%. Anything else would be uncivilized. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
guys i got a question, never been involved in any staking deals before..
I had to withdraw everything a while ago and now a friend is offering to stake me so that i can play HU SNGS. Anyone know how deals like this are "done" ? A couple of questions that i can think off right now... 1) what percentage should i keep and should he get from winnings? 2) If i were to have a huge downswing and lose it all, am i responsible to pay the money back ? 3) when does the deal end? If i keep winning and move up does he still get the same % ... etc... Id appreciate some help thx.. |
