Message: [QUOTE="PurgatoryD, post: 1687018, member: 43498"] The way I interpreted the original poster's question, the action before you indicates that there are little to no A or K left in the deck. So your hand will more or less be A high. That's fine against the other A-rag and K-rag hands, but you will likely lose to any pocket pair. Let's say someone has a pocket pair, sees the same action that the original poster saw, and concludes that none of the A-rag and K-rag hands are going to improve their hands above his pocket pair. So he's going to stick around. Does someone's range of pocket pairs have to be taken into account on this as well? It still seems like the preflop raise is a good more here, but if there's a calling station with pocket pairs, it's going to be a painful hand for AK. [/QUOTE]
