Message: [QUOTE="LukeSilver, post: 6891832, member: 59099"] It is a totally different game at that point. If I have say AhKh on a 7d4h3h board against 9d7c then I am 53% to win in fact against most over pairs or top pair hands I am over 50%. So if villain moves all in and I believe most of his range is top pair or over pair then I should go for the all in clash. (assuming cash or mtt that does not take into account ICM factor) however in your scenario rather then having >50% equity I have roughly 25/26% equity in the pot. I go from been able to call any bet villain makes to only been able to call if I am getting odds of 3-1 or better. all draws are now weakened significantly. Also the famous two over cards vs a pair flips are a thing of the past. previously AK was a good all in hand because you block AA and KK by removing an A and a K making it harder for villain to have AA or KK most likely with AK your either flipping or a strong favourite but now if AK suited gets it against 22 they go from been 49.77% vs 49.6% with 0.63% of a split to outright losing 49.6% of the time splitting 49.77% of the time and taking 25% of the pot 0.63% of the time. lets say for simplicity the all in was 50bb from both players and assume its blind vs blind with no antee then there are 100bb in the pot in the current format hero with AK suited has a chip ev of 49.77%*100=49.77 + 0.63%*100=0.63 so 49.77+0.63=50.4 to 50%*49.77%*100=24.885 +0.63%*0.25*100=0.88 =24.885+0.88=25.765 so basically AK suited goes from been the marginally positive side of a coin toss to been absolutely crushed. The change you propose would massively alter the game. the entire strategy for playing the game would need to be changed this in effect becomes an entirely different format/game. if this became the dominant format then I guess I would have to do intensive study to learn the better way of playing this game but unless that happens it would just be a novelty game I might occasionally play for micro stakes.
