In this context, in this particular situation, this isn't accurate.
Usually this is the case, of course, but vs. this V, with this history, it's the opposite, and thats why i made the play.
If i bet 2/3 pot, he's folding AK, ...not to get results oriented, but you know what i mean. he knows enough about poker to know the stacks are too shallow, that he can't make a move on me here, w/ my line, and my image of him. the most EV play to me was to go for a hero call.
the overbet lured him in.
i gave him a chance to make a mistake, to try to outplay me.
I know he's capable of calling me super-thin,and it would be worth it to his while to gamble that he's right, and he can show off to the gallery when AK hi is good.
I put him on a slightly stronger hand, but AK is the equivalent of 55-88
here.
It gets called a LOT wider in this context/history w/ V.
not saying your wrong, about your reasoning, in general, very solid.
I'm shocked this hand is getting any discussion at all, it's so damn standard.
still perplexed as to the discussions about bluffs/ turning a made hand into a bluff?
wat??
