hhmmm- that's an interesting point, care to expand on it a little?

I mean, for the most part I'd say we beat a bluff and some worse Kx.

I don't think he plays that many FD's this way.

So given that.. I'd say most of the range that we were beating, we're still beating on the river, as he'd prob still jam Kx for half pot on riv and will prob also jam his bluffs.

With deep stacks, postflop hand playability, skill advantage, and positional advantage are often much more important than preflop equities. Reverse implied odds are also less of a factor if we don't suck postflop. preflop equities become a lot more important with much shallower stacks, or if you're building a low flop SPR with preflop aggression.

I think pre is fine unless we expect a lot of squeezing, which we shouldn't usually with the UTG opener.
