Good answer as always
Cheers
For once, I think I disagree with the Learned Talon.
I'd raise pre every time with that hand if the pot were unopened.
If it had been opened already, no, though that's player dependent. Mostly I fold, but if the guy opens light a lot, I would re-pot it. I'd never repot it against the villain here, if he raises pre, he usually has the Aces.
The talk of what we are beating, & Ivan's "equities", is fair & correct, but that ASSUMES we get called. If we get 50% of these bets through un-called, the odds our opponent has effectively halve.*
* I'm not explaining that very well. In NLH, we all say that A-K is (roughly) 50-50 v any pair from Q-Q down. But that's only true if we get called every time we jam, & we don't. If we force folds 50% of the time, our long-term odds are actially much better, say, 75%-25%.
I think Vespa was a tad unlucky here. We don't walk into Aces every hand, & most of the time, we win pre, as played. Though once the guy had opened in front of us, the position becomes a lot more marginal.
I would MUCH rather see Vespa keep raising pre, than doing the limpy-wimpy thing which so many do.
We win in PLO8 by pressurising others, by forcing marginals to fold. OK, we over-step sometimes, but I'd still rather him raise too often, than not often enough.
