1/3 AJs OOP mway at Encore Boston - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

the next logical question is why have a calling range vs an open at any position? because position makes up for the range disadvantage? how do you quantify that?

yeah i don't and in general you shouldn't. The thing about position is that you will ALWAYS over realize equity.

Solver's quantify this as EV vs Equity. It's really not that hard to figure out, you just need an accurate raising range and an accurate calling range. You figure out the positions and then you compare the equity vs EV.

Look I don't think a 3betting here is a huge mistake (it's better than folding which someone suggested LOL) but thinking it's a slam dunk is a huge mistake

AJs is hard enough to play and you shouldn't risk losing your stack to fish for it, I'm for sure mixing in calls here and tightening my 3b range in the SB

I agree unless you have studied how to play 3bet pots OOP. You should be just calling here.

2. If this goes 3 handed to the flop what is your strategy for the same situation above?
