What about calling a hand? Why cannot I not to do that? Math please, if you can
What if the players are going to
call an
all-in push about the same as a 2.5
blind raise, and you're at 10-13 blinds.
What if you know that a player will either
fold to your 2.5
blind raise, or
push if he has a decent hand, as in you have this read on him? The other night I realised this player was pushing good hands in this situation, and folded most other times. Saved me from busting when he pushed me all in with his AQ, the only time he did
push after about 6 steals. He called once, but an all in
continuation bet scared him off; this
continuation bet would work approximately 2/3s of the time, since they only hit that often on the
flop, with exceptions to pockets or particuarly high cards/draws. So, if they did
call I would still
steal most of the time, with more in the pot.
Unless you can prove otherwise, it seems that
push-fold mode is more for when up against players who actually know what they are doing....
