Message: [QUOTE="vinnie, post: 5676086, member: 95995"] You are correct in that the hand loses in the book. But, that's not important. If they had gotten all-in, and the 65s had called, he would still lose on that board. But, more importantly, he isn't getting all-in preflop against 65s. If had shoved all-in, the 65s would usually just fold. You win 30 chips with AA. What a waste! This flop happens to be exceptionally good for 6h5h. It would be very hard to get 65h to fold on this flop without over-playing your one pair hand. The AA still puts in money when he is good and folds when he is bad. Ignore the fact that the river was the 3h. If the river was the 9s, you would be thrilled to have played it this way. Equity is just part of the equation to find expected value. You need to go for the way that makes you the most money. [/QUOTE]
