in getting about 3-1 here you have to call, no reason to put him on aces only here, his range is wider than you think.

So, out of those 136 hands, he likely had AA at some point, and slow played them. Even more reason to think he didn't have AA this time. I'd put him on AK, and the kind of player who plays push reraises with AK 25% of the time.

you are just completely pulling stuff out of your ass. all we know is that they're super tight and have already flatcalled a raise with AK multiway. they weren't "slowplaying" because you can't slowplay A-high, that's just the style they play. and there are very very very few players at 100NL who would ever slowplay AA here because you have 3 players already in the pot. i'd like to value your input, but everything you say in every single thread is completely off the mark, and your tone is always nasty. frankly you don't play 100NL FR online or even close, so you don't know what the ranges are like at all. it's not a freeroll or $2 sng. obviously a fold is not mandatory or even close to that, i simply gave my opinion and reasoning. however your guesses blatantly contradict what we already know about the player and make very very little sense

But I suppose that since switch put him on AA and folded, she must have been right, and this whole thread is an ex-post facto circle jerk of everybody agreeing with her. I should have realized.

a) switch is not a she
b) there's no "fold and show" option so if switch folded nobody would have any way of knowing if he was right (even if the guy says he had AA, people lie)
c) i'm basically the only person in the thread who has said i would fold, so what the bloody hell are you talking about?

what is it like to be a rambling idiot who is wrong about everything?

btw i don't know what i meant to say on b cause in theory they could have showed their hand even though we can't show ours, just very unlikely they would. but that's pretty much the most irrelevant point anyway, and i don't know what you could see in the thread that would make you think it's a "circle-jerk" for folding KK since almost nobody wants to fold and switch hasn't even said if he folded

BTN is 9/0 with 0%3bet over 136 hands, and i have seen them flat a,k in the blinds in a 3way pot and have open limped/called jacks

without the knowledge of the AK/JJ hands i'd be saying 136 hands isn't that much and i wouldn't read too much into the 9/0 (obviously you can draw conclusions from it, but i don't think you can necessarily read enough from it to seriosuly think about folding KK pf), but given the specific reads i like folding.

So, out of those 136 hands, he likely had AA at some point, and slow played them. Even more reason to think he didn't have AA this time. I'd put him on AK, and the kind of player who plays push reraises with AK 25% of the time.

But I suppose that since switch put him on AA and folded, she must have been right, and this whole thread is an ex-post facto circle jerk of everybody agreeing with her. I should have realized.

i didn't think it was possible to fit so much fail into 5 short sentences. we have seen villain limp-call with JJ, we have seen him call from the blinds with AK, and he hasn't raised pf in 136 hands, and you really think he's going this crazy with AK? it's also funny that you think he "likely had AA at some point" when (a) in any given 136 hand sample you're more likely to not get dealt AA than you are to get dealt it (seeing as the odds of being dealt AA are ~220-1 iirc), and (b) AK gets dealt like 3 times more often than AA and we've actually SEEN villain 'slowplay' AK before and he's most likely done it on other occasions and not shown down. i like how you throw what hero has actually observed at the table completely out of the window in analysing villain's play and just invent random potential scenarios, it's very amusing.

hay guyz i think based on absolutely nothing that villain is the sort of person who will go allin preflop every 137th hand so you should call because based on my 'read' (which is based on bugger all actual observed evidence) he could have any two cards here.

This thread is going in the right direction !

Switch should obviously call this because she hasn't moved up to where they respect her cold 4bets yet.

One more for the circle - with that specific read, I'm happy with a fold too.

DM took the words right out of my mouth re: "out of those 136 hands, he likely had AA at some point". I wish I got them that often :p

It's 220-1 against getting AA. So there is a 62% probability that he got AA in one of those 136 hands. That constitutes "likely".

umm no

P(0 AA in 136 hands) = (220/221)^136

P(0 AA in 136 hands) = 0.540

P(>0 AA in 136 hands) = 1-0.540 = 0.46

Once again, that's not how probability works...

i fold here and i play 100nl fr as my regular game

on top of this, calling the 3bet can have merit because even though it sucks playing KK in a multiway pot, you still have equity and you can also flop sets, sets over sets, and you might even make a cool flush draw in your multiway pot

136 is a lot of hands, he surely had them at least three or four times. you guys are forgetting there are 6 combinations of AA. i mean come on it's simple math

Yep, that's what probability is. A mathematical way to predict what will most likely happen in reality. It's not the mathematics of certainty. 100% probability does not equal certainty.

I'll tell you what, we'll write a program that deals 220 random two card hands. Every time it doesn't deal at least one pair of aces, I'll pay you a dollar. Every time it does have at least one pair of aces, you pay me a dollar. Eventually, I'm going to wind up with all your money. And that would hold true even if we dealt 136 hands per bet, or 111 hands per bet.

When I originally posted, I thought switch was going to tell us what the guy actually had. But in truth, this whole thing is a tempest in a teapot right? We don't know what the guy actually had, and we never will, correct?

So he flatted AK previously. That doesn't mean he is going to do it every time, or even again. switch didn't say what position this guy was in previously when he flatted AK. So now he is in a different absolute position, or different relative position, and does something different. You don't have enough information, or a big enough sample size, to conclude that this guy is likely to flat AK.

I will take your wager for the 111 hands not 220. We can sit at a playmoney table HU and checkdown every hand...actually I won't take the bet b/c I could win more $/hr playing 2nl but if we could speed up the results I would.

If Switch folded then no we won't see results. The hand analysis section is for considering what the best decision would be based on the information we have.

So, I'd be spending how much time to have 50.5% chance to make a dollar? I don't think so.

What I'm saying is, we run thousands of computer simulations of 220-hand sets, or 136-hand sets, or 111-hand sets. You wouldn't take that bet for $1 per set, and neither would dorkus.
