Pocket pair example

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The pocket pair example is total nonsense. One should never try to isolate with a very small pocket pair because it needs very big implied odds to make up for the occasions when a face card flops.

That's not necessarily true. If there are significant blinds, and someone with a hand like KhQd puts in a raise, if 5s5c reraises and knocks out everyone else to isolate, the pair is about a 54% to 46% (assuming a call, if the KQ folds, even better). So not only is the isolating good against the KQ, the pair gets its share of the equity of blinds/antes. Additionally, there are differences between no limit and limit, between being all-in or having 100x the size of the pot. The example maybe should be removed, but not because it is wrong or nonsense. It clearly could be right some of the time, but the point should be made in as non-confusing way as possible. 2005 (talk) 21:23, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
