I hope this will generate some decent discussion.
Why do Gabe and successful nl ring players go so far out of their way to make thin calldowns and valuebets, but rarely make big laydowns?
Isn't EV EV, no matter where it comes from?
I am speaking in reference to a number of HH posts where someone has bottom set or AA or something, and is facing tons of action. He posts the hand to see if he could have gotten away and Gabe or ilikeaces will reply that it was a clear call, and there was no way to get away from the hand.
Then next thing I know, I see a Gabe HH post where he's calling down his whole stack with AK high.
Aren't these calldowns just as thin as when people fold AA to a bet/threebet all in on a J83 flop?
Just curious what the difference is.
