Hey folks, just a heads up that I’m not going to be around for the next week, so I won’t be able to respond as diligently to questions/comments here as I would like. Once I get to Vegas around July 1 I should be able to get caught up, so please do leave whatever questions/comments you have and I will respond in about a week.
Thanks!
Andrew

It’s nice to see that sometimes even you make mistakes, haha.. I’m always so impressed by how well your post-game analysis lines up with your in-game decisions.

At 14.30 you talking about calling on BB w K7o against middle position raise. Isn’t it that this hand would be easily dominated and get you in trouble postflop?

At 31.15 J10o hand. If you would have opened that hand or J10s or QJ – would you be calling short stack shove?
Foucault
You saw my response to your previous question about this, right? Even against a range that contains a lot of better Kx, you’re going to have the best hand really often on a K-high flop. The only reason domination becomes a concern is if you end up losing so much on the rare occasions that you are dominated that it swamps how much you win when flop the best hand. That can’t really happen with shallow stacks because there just isn’t that much to lose compared to what is already in the pot.
There’s also no law against folding top pair if you’re sure you don’t have enough equity to continue. Let’s say you call with K7 and get a K85 flop. You check, opponent bets. Put him on a range. If you think he is c-betting most of his opening range, then you have a +EV call. You make money on that call even though you are often dominated, because there is a lot of money in the pot.
Turn is a 2, you check, he pots it. If you have reason to think that he has a very strong range for doing this, then you’re allowed to fold. Given his pre-flop range, one of two things has to be true:
1. He is bluffing often enough on the turn to make a call profitable; or
2. He will rarely bet the turn, which means that this situation won’t come up often and you can fold when it does.
Granted you may have trouble guessing which of these it is in a given situation. That’s where game theory comes in. Being aware of your own range and defending an appropriate % of it is preferable to surrendering your share of equity in the pot.
Foucault
Yeah I think even JTo would be a call. Only need 36% to call.
