[spoonitnow strategy] The Incorporation of Second-Level Thinking

[surviva316]

The point I meant to include is that--if I'm understanding the concept correctly--our absolute hand strength still isn't a primary concern. This would be a consideration for ANY hand that isn't good enough for us to comfortably felt; in fact, the hands that are exposed to the greatest risk are hands that are barely not good enough to felt comfortably (the fact that KJ is a more marginal fold implies that there are more hands that we would have beaten if called, implying that we're making a mistake more often). So the weaker the hand, the less concerned we are about making a mistake by not felting our hand.

What this is really all about--again, assuming I have this right--is weighing how fat the value is versus the disadvantages that expose us to risk of making a mistake in a big pot. So KJ gets fatter value than K3, but it also makes more mistakes in large pots. This isn't to say that K3 is a better hand to vbet with here than KJ. I just mean that the logic shouldn't be, "Our hand isn't that good, so we should pot control"; it's "Our hand isn't in our nut range, and there's a potential for a disadvantage in a big pot so we should consider pot control, the merits of which don't simply boil down to hand strength."
