Re: AllIn preflop post
[ QUOTE ]
Say you just call and flop comes KT3fd with no bdfd for you. I would be folding here and giving up about 35-40% eq. Now an argument can of course be made for me to not fold but I dunno about that. [/ QUOTE ] so here's my main problem. Frankly, on that KTxr flop, I think folding A7o is bad. AllIn agrees, I think, but many good players fold there (see that thread for examples). I think giving up 35+% equity getting 5:1 is dumb. But I guess I'm just as uncomfortable in that spot as other ppl, which is why I tend to 3-bet stuff like A8o pf. I know it sounds silly to make a -ev play in order to avoid a different -ev play. But I just don't get why ppl are so quick to dump all that equity getting 5:1. sorry for the ramble, plz keep up with good responses--I am def in need of improvement here. |

So I am calling to either improve on turn and c/f UI or to call turn UI and make a decision on river. In either case I am getting owned. But I can certainly see how folding with 35% eq is terrible |

Re: AllIn preflop post
vs people who play well I think c/f is best.
yes we pass up some equity, but vs guys who will be bluffing, semibluffing, value checking, and taking free cards with the right frequencies we are going to be playing a guessing game postflop. this means lots of FTOP mistakes, and therefore very high RIO of course vs players who play predictably life gets a lot easier |

Re: AllIn preflop post
If we c/f those flops then we need to consider that when debating preflop.
If Allin is c/f'ing those flops his analysis is incomplete IMHO. We should not only care about which cards we get villain to fold but on which boards its now villain that folds as opposed to Hero |

Re: AllIn preflop post
Playing Ax unimproved postflop has been bugging me for the same reasons. I used to 3bet Ax out of the BB back in my tagfish 3+ AF days, when I was more accustomed to having initiative and more comfortable. I've started calling with it for basically the same reasons Allin talks about in his post (altho I couldnt have explained it so well).
I think this all comes down to Ax UI being a tough hand to play after the flop regardless of whether you have initiative. About giving up your 35% equity on a KTx 2flush flop, I don't think it "bad" to give it up. You are in a RIO situation = you need more equity to peel, therefore you fold. The whole point of not 3betting pf is that you have the luxury of giving up that equity because the pot is small. I'd much rather do that instead of face a flop raise in a bigger pot, or face a tough turn decision when villian calls my flop c-bet. |
