Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 6458318, member: 419963"] Many are commenting about "average player" but isn't this observation actually GOOD POKER to some extent? Top Pair is a obviously a good hand that should value bet in a lot of cases, but what I mean by being "good poker" is that in theory one should call a solid frequency because when people bet, they have pot odds/implied odds as well as fold equity (they win the pot right away if everyone else folds regardless of their cards). It then becomes really obvious that folding too often (not calling down enough) could become exploitable as opponents can profitably bet against you with wider and wider ranges as you continuously fold too frequently. Perhaps I'm giving the "average" player more credit by giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it is clear to see how we don't earn chips by folding...the tough part is knowing when to fold and when to call down etc. :cool: [/QUOTE]
