Hey now,
As a result of a recent post I made about profitability I've started to spend a lot of time looking at equity. Before hand I've sort of "known" certain plays are better than others, but now I'm really diving into exactly how/why they are and I've come across a question I want to ask...
I'm often faced with a Cash Game scenario where the pot is open raised, hero 3-Bets with KK and then there's a 100BB shove from one opponent.
In this situation, it's fair to assume that villain has AA, but we don't KNOW villain has AA... If we have no prior knowledge of play and no stats to work with, is KK a hand that we can call the shove with?
I'm sure this question is asked often..
Do we just assume villain has AA and move on, or does the math dictate that we can get it in and feel fairly confident about our move? I am learning that in poker we now play our opponents range of hands and not necessarily one hand.
Thanks.
