How did this thread get so long?

AT vs 96o, who cares, they are both cheese but if metagame says make a move, then make a move. In a vacuum there are better hands to make a move with, of course.

96 is better than AT b/c you don't want the hand to go to showdown anyway. if you cbet an A high flop and get called in a 3bet pot, your AT isn't good in most cases. if you won't get called, 96 would have been good enough. plus, when you hold 96, the probability that an A flops and you can take away the pot, is bigger too.

nevertheless, if you're not going to do this too often, why not wait for a suited or more connected hand than 96o?

all the 96o arguments in one line: "it's easier to play."

Dont like it because hes raising a ~20bb stack pf so his range is not as wide. I general, I feel like this is spew, theres just no reason to repop 96o OOP IMO. Why should you do it?

[/ QUOTE ]
Probably because a tight person who steals 50% of the time is folding a lot to our reraise, and if he calls he might just be set mining vs our obvious AA or KK, so he folds the flop. I like it, as long as you have not been bluffy at the table and have a tight image.

[/ QUOTE ]

sightless isnt a nit, not even close. his range is definitely not AA/KK here.

[/ QUOTE ]
Thats why I said it depends on your image. Bluffy plays like this depend entirely too much on the back and forth of the current game, and how your opponent views you to really be discussed usefully without that information.
