    25/50's f'in hard!

    Default Big slick gets pissed

    After seeing how much respect the limp-reraise was getting at my tables I again engineered another AA-lookalike scheme

    Good line?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    CO ($99.70)
    Button ($102.50)
    SB ($98.10)
    BB ($59.81)
    Hero ($100.80)
    MP ($59.20)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with A, K. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
    Hero calls $1, 1 fold, CO raises to $3, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $2.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $12, CO calls $9, SB folds.

    Flop: ($28) T, 7, 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $15, CO folds.

    Final Pot: $43

    Results in white below:
    No showdown. Hero wins $43.
    BR now: $106900

    Goal: $125000 for $25/50 NL live

    Yes, if CO is tight pre and post flop and you can get away from the hand when he outflops you or reraises you preflop (ie he has what you are representing). How many barrels are you prepared to fire?

    Remember that you are risking about $27 to win $13 (simplified model where you either take it down on the flop or you give up) so this needs to work ~ 2/3 of the time for you to break even. Against tight opponents this will work more often than that (you will often take it down preflop too which also helps). Just pick your spots and it should be profitable but don't overdo it.

    There's also the chance you hit your A or K and win by that means.
