blind defense idea

Postby Aisthesis » Sat Feb 23, 2008 12:03 pm

This is an idea I just had stemming in part from the article redhouse linked (sorry, don't have it) about 4bet/pushing AXs against a light re-raiser.

Anyhow, suppose LP raises your blind. Well, this is a very wide range, including lots and lot of very weak hands, often AX. In the past, I've often been calling with AXs, but I think that's rather leaky, as you're getting yourself in trouble with questionable kickers, the X is only relevant in exceptional cases, and the flush draw is nice but happens a bit too rarely.

So, I was thinking AXs with X<T might be a good hand to re-raise. My other point of departure is game-theory, which says that your bluff-re-raises should be the top end of your fold hands. Well, I'm thinking that ATs, etc. are perfectly acceptable call hands because they put villain in the pot often with a dominated hand and all the problems that go with that.

And if you re-raise here (I really prefer a quantity that forces villain to push or fold rather than draw to anything--20% of stack is usually about right, although it's probably a bit much if you're deep) with A2s-A9s, TT+ and AK, that gives a pretty decent proportion of very strong hands to hands that are really a bit dubious for a call (ok, A9s could probably be called with profitably, too, but I feel like ATs is a little more secure).

Thoughts?

Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
