Cold calling with AJs and KQs - Page 4

Thanks for the compliment - just trying to combine what's been said before in this thread with my less than perfect English.

BTW, SSHE' seems to advocate cold-calling with AQs also, not just AJs and KQs - if I understood AlexM's excerpt correctly.

I'd be grateful if someone had the time to calculate some estimates for the number of people we need to flop for our equity to be more than our fair share.

My guess would be that 4 is probably not enough but 5 might be: so one caller behind us + the blinds.

Edit: and we need a buffer for those time we end paying a better TP hand..

I just read this in SSHE, pg.68. paraphrasing.

With a raise in front of you, be carefull with hands such as AJ,ATs,KQs,KJs. You may be dominated by the raiser. Call only if the raiser will raise with many hands or if there are already many others in the pot.

LOL - I guess my mistake was understandable though with you replying to me.

This statement clarifies the chart and makes both position and read on raiser VERY important. OOP against a tight raiser - folding could be a good decision.

Expanding a bit and looking at the chart I assume this applies to KTs, QJs and JTs which the tight hands charts says automatic call against a raise and they are of a lesser value. Correct?

Well I just did a PT sort on those hands where I cold called with those hands and I won 2 out 23 (10,000) hands. How about a few others report their results.
