I usually do this when I don't have AK, becuase it looks like AK.

Call the flop once you get there, yah.

I think preflop sucks, though, pretty much start to finish [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I had firmly expected villain to fold to the 4bet. Why is preflop so bad? (and don't worry about my particular cards). I understand the card equity is bad, is that ur only reasoning? (FWIW, I think it's fine against said player, and it's very good for showdown value for everyone else at the table.)

Against a probably awful small stack at .25/.50 its a value shove and a good one.

He's never folding a better hand, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Cause he'll call with worse. But, I'd probably just call or fold depending on my read.

How deep do I gotta be for him to fold, say A6-AT (yes I know, none of them are better hands)?

It's so funny you say that. I have no idea what fish think anymore. I'm just so far removed from that thought process that I think I often leave $$ on the table.

I sometimes think when people call with crap, it's not only because they think they might have the best hand, but just as much to **see** what I have. It's as if they are policing the game.
