I had a long conversation with a guy on Bovada the other night. This was a .02/05 cash game. I had just sat down with $5 and on one of my first hands I got AK in the BB. The guy under the gun bumped it up to $1.70. Everybody folded to me, so I decided to shove with my AK. He had a J-9 suited and called me and ended up winning the hand when he hit a straight on the river.
I told him I didn't think that was a bright call, considering he only had a 40% chance of winning the hand. He insisted he made the correct call. I'm just not sure how you say that playing a hand you will only 2 of 5 times is the correct long-term strategy. It worked out for him that hand, but in the long run, that would seem to be a failing strategy. What am I missing?
