Quick Poker Tip Of The Week
It's said that calling is a weak play, but few players realize that calling with the correct frequencies can be used as a weapon to exploit aggression. The advantage actually comes from folding the weaker end of the range where it's unprofitable to call, and calling with the hands that are profitable to do so given the pot odds.
In normal play with normal bet sizing, this works out to about 2/3 of the range that the bettor is playing. So if the person is firing out every time, we'd fold about 1/3 of our hands, the bottom third of our range, and play on with the upper 2/3. This will end up being a profitable situation for us.
Now we may indeed look to raise depending on our hand, how loose he calls raises, how often we can get him to fold, and so on. That potential profit is separate from the profit we may gain through calling though, and we would look to compare the two and see which line yields the most expected value.
