I seriously doubt if its actually crossing equity at that point for a player as good as him, though for much worse players, I could definitely see AA playing for much less value than most variance.
I think, by that he means, AA can start to play in very stressful spots, while 56s plays more of a fit/fold board which will be much easier to play. However once it goes slightly beyond the tipping point, my experience is that Ill often be pot committed to lose a little more than otherwise.Īt deep stck play around 200+ you will need to actually bet less in order to pot control since raises that you need to call will be come more frequently.Īt 500BB+ vs a Durr type, it can be a nightmare to play which is why Doyle hates playing AA and would prefer to play 56s. I think that with bet sizing you may squeeze a little more value with three slightly larger bets.
Basically the value of AA should go up and up as stacks increase, but after 75bb or so the slope of the curve probably decreases (though it's still an incline).ĪA vs decent players caps value at around 3 decent sized bets which is often around 100BBs.ħ5-100bb breaking for a smaller gain sounds about right. Certainly you're correct that the overpair component of the hand decreases in value as stacks go up. AA is by far the nuttiest hand in holdem, having top set or top full house on like 20% of boards.
