Although.....you are getting over 2:1 here, if MP3 had a bigger stack I'm sure a case can be made for a pot semi-bluff if you want to get creative. Granted, that play really puts the semi in semibluff, but it does have merit. In a tourney situation it's a pretty slick move (which of course means it would be wasted against all but the best players, since most fools will call till hell freezes over with their crappy aa hands).
I guess the key delimiter is whether or not you can put him on aa with nothing else working. If you can do that maybe 75% of the time, it's a reasonable play. I'd have to see notes that say he only raises with aa hands and that they don't have to be solid, feature-rich aa hands for him to raise them. I'd also want to know if he is smart enough to fold when potted like that.
Yeah, it's a high variance move, but it's one of them there moves that warms your insides and stiffens the old mule when it works.Statistics: Posted by JDLush — Tue Dec 27, 2005 2:43 pm
