Message: [QUOTE="F Paulsson, post: 386891, member: 6979"] I'm a late arrival in this thread, but why not: His range of hands is fairly slim here, but readless, I'd figure something like this: Preflop: 77-AA, A7o+, A2s+. Flop: No pair can be excluded here, I feel. He might put you on AK and push with 77 because he thinks the jack doesn't help you, but that's really risky. Then there's AJ/KJ and a flush draw. Making such a dramatic bet with a draw might be overly aggressive, but there are a lot of hands you could have that you would have to fold if he overbets here, like 77-TT, AK/AQ/AT, etc, and if he has a weaker hand than that unimproved, betting big here is likely a great move. But I couldn't lay down kings here. The pot is laying you 21-14, or 3-2, and the only two hands in his range that you're really far behind at this point is JJ and AA. Most other hands you will have completely dominated, or will be about a cointoss with. Of course, just calling is not much of an option at this point, since you're pot-committed anyway. Just push it all in and let the cards fall. FD has a good point when it comes to waiting for bigger edges, but I disagree with it being entirely valid in a ring game. I absolutely agree with it in tournaments, but in a ring game you can re-buy if you bust, and your bankroll should be more than ready to handle these fluctuations - if I'm in the position of being able to risk $1000 on a crapshoot where I'm a 2% favorite, I'll (hopefully) be bankrolled for it, so whether it's $20 or $2000 shouldn't matter much. This is easier said than done, of course. Regardless, I think your hand vs. his range of hands is a big favorite. Not a huge favorite, but definitely big enough to take this race. /FP [/QUOTE]
