Yes, but knowing the result clouds your judgement of the proper decision. It's hard to think about hand ranges when the actual hands are right in front of you. I think people are underestimating how often AA is ahead here at a $.50/1 table.

No matter the range of hands...

If someone has a flush draw, someone has an OESD, someone has a gutshot, and someone has an overpair (like the original PF raiser), I'm not "ahead". I only have 28% equity in that case (and that's only calculating four other hands, there were five).

If someone has a flush draw, someone has an OESD, and someone has any pair, I'm not ahead either. I have 27% equity there (and that's only when I calculate JUST those three hands against mine).

There really isn't many other better situations I'd be in here. And from all this action on an otherwise passive table, I think I'd be too optimistic to assume either of these situations were true.

I can't really attack this problem nearly as mathematically as a lot of you can...but all I know is that I'd grumble and drop em to those flop raises. This may surprise some of you, since Mecos correctly called me out as the calling-station-extraordinaire that I am, but I also have a VICIOUS weak-tight streak in me.

Seriously, though, I'm just gonna have a lotta trouble rationalizing getting myself to the showdown after that flop action. And yes, that's how I felt before I saw the results.
