re: Poker & $Freeroll NLHE MTT: What cruelty to flirt AQo SB
Just for the record I dont love postflop either, but you kind of said that yourself already. Its a rough spot seeing a flop with an SPR of around 1,5, when you have a hand like 55. Unless you flop a set, there are always going to be overcards, and more overcards will usually come on the turn and river. So its difficult to get to showdown and realise the value of your hand. And this is exactly why, you dont want to create that situation in the first place.
But as played I guess, I will check and hope, they are very passive and will allow me to see a cheap showdown. Or that I bink a 3 or a 5 on the turn improving my hand. When you jam it all in on the flop, I expect a result like this a very non zero percent of the time. Especially on a A high board, because people just love to play aces. I would be much more on board with this move on a texture like 642 or 742, where its kind of unlikely, someone hit top pair, and if they did, then good for them.
