Put it this way: if your information was PERFECT that he only jams pairs here then it would still only be a marginally bad call. You add only a couple unpaired combos and it starts to be a pretty bad fold. We just don't have perfect information to make soul reads like that on some unknown, 75bb effective open jamming fish in a .25c game.

If it's a .25cent game surely you should be able to out play a lot of the opposition, rather than be guessing at such marginal spots as this so early just my .25cents :-)

True but I can just reregister and outplay some other opposition.

au4all's post is interesting. While it isn't a reason to play this particular AKs hand differently, I must say I am tempted to open jam AA for 75 BBs next time and see who levels themselves into calling. I will report back.

If I'm playing a $1-$5 bi and get AA first hand I always jam.

Where is that gorgeous quote from years ago when you need it... something along the lines of:

The players who might be good enough to justify passing on small edges in turbos don't, and those that aren't do.

Edit: That isn't a dig at anyone saying fold ITT, just to highlight that small edges in turbos are what we look for.

I guess it's up to you though.

^ they pay you off when you go to the streets almost always anyway, so kinda a wash for that argument.

Gotta let fish see 3 and find a way to throw it all with their trashier hands IMO, but i see the merit in open shove.
