Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 6756959, member: 508"] I can understand this and it's not a bad strategy if you know a big stack will call your all-in. playing monster hands gives you the most preflop equity against a call range and you get to realize your full equity. what? the reason why you choose to only play monster hands vs a big stack is because you know they have a greater chance to win in a situation where you're at risk of busting out. this is also why you'll fold and not play hands like 27o, because you know they have a greater chance to lose and your chances of busting increases. so, you might not study preflop equity in situations, but you understand how they apply based you choosing to only play hands that make you an equity favorite when all-in vs a big stack. also, equity and winning percentages are not a theory.
