I understand this but I think it's flawed. Too many "ifs" for my liking. Also, if the BB is calling wide, isn't he a moron which we're pleased about? If not, 17/0 doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the bubble.
We have a strong hand for the position we're in. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger and hope. Infact, there's a lot of this in DONs. |
I agree with you 100%. I usually push a lot wider than this when I'm confident of a high % of folds. If you don't have the call steals statistic, you have to make a judgement call based on your read of the player. OP mentioned the BB was 'not keen on DON strategy', which may imply he's calling wide... but I'm not sure. Basically, if there is evidence of him calling wide, I fold here, otherwise I'm happy to push.
