Hand

[peterbirks]

Well, a cursory glance at the scales on Tuesday night was enough to impel me back to the gym yesterday and today, after only a couple of visits in three weeks. Much though I hate going, I hate the gradual onset of bloatedness and gut-growing even more. It's not a matter of improvement; it's just staving off the inevitable for as long as possible.

Here's a hand from yesterday:


Villain 1 $24: (Big Blind, tight, 5%/0% on 40 hands)
Villain 2 $85: (Cut Off, tight, 4%/0% on 25 hands)
Hero: $98: (Button. Dealt AKs - hearts, if you think they are a lucky or unlucky suit ... :-))

Blinds 50c/$1


All pass to Villian 2 who raises to $4.
Hero reraises to $11.
Villain 1 Big blind goes all-in for $23.
Villain 2 calls.

Hero?

Yes good point. What I actually meant at the time was "racing or worse", and as you say "worse" is actually fairly likely too. I see Totti's logic and I think it beats both my call and fold options. Fold is clearly a weak move.

Given the stakes you're playing I'm not sure I agree with your ranges. It's very difficult without knowing the players, but I see AA as a very possible holding for villain 2. He's put in a bet, been reraised, and now has the chance to trap you into setting him all-in preflop, or at the very least suck you into an expensive pot on the flop. And I've seen people do what villain 1 did with all sorts of garbage. Certainly any mid pair is possible, or even KQs! But I'd agree given his stats that my default assumption would be roughly what you say.
