IF YOU KNOW WHAT HE HAS..WHAT WOULD YOU DO??, JAque, 5. Nov 2003 19:48

10-20, 15-30 (on line or BM for that matter)


If you know what an earlier raiser has every hand every time he raises (hypotetically) and you are either on the button or 1 or 2 away from it (no callers except may be one of the blinds), is there a set of non premium hands that will show +EV by calling or re-rasing assuming the following:

a) He gives up AK, AQ, AJ, KQs when he does not pair on by the turn
b) You are able to extract near maximum when his high pairs loses to your 2 small pairs , straight, flush or small set (he plays them very aggressively)
c) You play expertly to lose the minimum when the flop hits him



I noticed some players that always call an earlier raiser from the button with hands like 109o, 76s, 98o, etc. They are basically taking a shot at the AK, AQ, AJ when no high card hits the flop. Obviously, they lose their share to the big pairs and when high cards hit the flop. However, if someone had an almost perfect read on a person, for example he only raises from first position with AA and KK, form 3 position with AK , etc. The best example will be when you know he has AA, will you call with any hand knowing that if you hit you will get a lot of action from him?? Or .. is always a -EV due to the strenght of his hands?

thanks

If you know that the opponent's hand, and that hand is big cards and not a big pair, and will lay down if he does not hit by the turn, you can play any hand profitably. Against a reasonable player, it would be nigh impossible to play profitably against AA. You'd need to collect a heck of a lot of bets when you are winning.

Reraise him every time with any hand unless he has a big pair.
