Pocket rockets- 900 BB deep- how do we play this? - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

...Sometimes you just don't want to get it in PF, even if you know the whale has KK, why give the whale 20% equity for your entire stack, when you can beat him in fundamentals later. Also, you never know, the hero might be short on money (yes, yes, yes, no need to lecture on BRM etc. sometimes you just want to play and play and play). So obviously the hero has a reason to not want to put as much money at risk when he's holding nuts pre flop against a whale.

But if not "money-scared", defs 4bet to iso the whale, and get it in on any decent flop.

Misread, thought you folded otr, still don't play this deep if you are taking lines you know are not optimal.

No problem with getting up, I got up from one of the greatest tables I've ever sat at about a month ago bc I had gotten way too deep with effective stacks.

Its harder to get up from a home game and break it up but its a skill you need to learn.

Remember to 3 bet and 4 bet AKss liberally and show it when you get folds and this sort of spot gets really easy to play.

please elaborate. this is really bad thinking on a poker table and has nothing to do with your bankroll at all. show me a spot where you can beat the whale with more than 20% equity. plus other things could happen you are not aware of.
