Ohhh.... now we're getting somewhere. Why did you do this?

hmm. i make changes if i lose a lot of money.

in ep with ak, an open raise will chase all the hands you want to play against, and identify all those you dont.

an openraise makes c-betting awkward when you are out of position to a flat caller(s). so you need to improve 9/10

if someone wakes up with jacks or queens in later p, and they play the hand properly, it may be difficult to even see a flop. played inversly, you can usually CALL most raises from a big pair if the pot hasnt been spiked by (yourself) or another player. this is just simple pot-management with any drawing hand.

finally, i like to 'see whats out there' just calling gives me the option to reraise later in the street if i think isolation is a good idea.
