LOL, yes this is what I am considering. Suppose you are IP against a villian whom you know only plays AA. He either folds pre or pushes all in with AA. Every hand. If he pushes, your AA becomes an easy fold.Originally Posted by daven
If you call, you both have an equal chance of winning via flush by the river or you chop the pot for a loss. Since the flushes cancel out, calling the shove is -EV, assuming the blinds don't pay the rake (or money that you hope will become dead money) and I guess also assuming his stack is big enough to make the pot rakeable.
What I was hoping to learn is the math relating to how to factor the rake into pre-flop equity calculations.
This isn't a parade, it's a serious question that I'm trying to learn the answer to.
Are there any other situations such as family pots with shortstacks in which folding AA is the best option?
