Enh. You're right. But there are a ton of hands that can get there that will fold on the turn (or river) if they whiff.

I still don't see why you abandon the steal beacuse you have a decent draw. How would you play AA here?

It doesn't matter how i'd play AA here. We gain more value, in my opinion, from calling than from trying to force villian off a better hand. Think about the way you can gain the most value from a given situation rather than stubornly deciding that we are stealing and trying to force our way through the hand.

Because we hoped to get headsup with MP2 and overplay him postflop. Now with BB in the hand (who called 2 cold PF) it's not a steal anymore.

MP2 is a known good winning player. Why do you want to go heads up against him expecting to out play him? This is not a long term winning strategy.

Look at the action after your initial 3bet. At what point do you admit that just maybe Villain has a real hand and trying to bluff him off is just spewing?

Preflop is ok though I'd rather just call (but possibly float the flop if it goes HU). Flop is an easy call. What's really interesting is if the turn is the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

ncboiler: The thinking behind preflop is that we're in position against someone who is probably raising light and will be forced to c/f a lot of flops.

Oh, I think preflop is a fold too, but I think almost everyone, including OP, knows that.

I did not say I wanted it. It was in the OP. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You always cold call 2 or re-raise in CO with 24s? Wow.

You have 4 high. Although I'm willing to listen why you are playing 24s against a good player to a raise. Please tell me why?
