| Re: Shortstacked Strategy Poll I think I voted the pocket pair on the other poll, but I've voted AKo here, as I've thought about a few things. Knowing that if you're called by a range of say TT-AA/AK/AQ at least with the AK you're only way behind the AA/KK, a coinflip with the TT-QQ (and any other PP which may call) and dominating the AQ (and any other Ax which may call)
With say 44, you have to worry that many of the calling hands will have YOU dominated, and at BEST you're looking at a coinflip, even against marginal hands like TJs, QJs, etc.
With AK, there are at least a few situations where you're way ahead, not so much with the lower PP.
Still, I'm pushing with either in the given situation. |
