darbday;233428 wrote2 to 1 in position heads up and you know what his hand is? this is the whole concept of small ball no? ill admit its a little bit to big of a bet preflop....but its close enough to have the villain on a wider range i think.
i think its safe to say bb is generally going to give us all his chips if we hit....
1. 2:1 odds mean nothing when all the chips aren't in pre-flop.
2. You might think you know what his range is, but you still can't just call with
whatever and hope to suckout, the fact is he has the best hand on the flop the vast majority of the time, the turn the vast majority of the time, and the river the vast majority of the time.
3. It's not at all safe to say you're going to get all his chips when you 'hit' with Q9 or w/e terrible hands you're calling with.
4. You're gonna hit 2 pair and still not be good sometimes.
5. You're gonna hit 1 pair and put some money in the pot behind before you find out you're behind.
6. You're gonna get barreled off the best hand some % of the time (say the flop comes T96 2 spades and he has AK of spades vs. your Q9 and bets flop and turn... where are you at?)
7. You're gonna still have to pull moves in some spots to get him off the best hand to make calling profitable... do you really think you can do that?
I could go on and on, but it's just not gonna be profitable for 99% of players. Just stick with hands that have the best equity when you're playing big pots.
