I disagree that I should not be counting the bad beat $2 I give every hand. They do have a high hand bonus, however it is not on weekends and during the week there are always a lot of tables, meaning the odds of me winning are very low, and according to my calculations, the high hand giveaways are -ev compared to just not paying the $2.
HIGHLY disagree with the notion that you should be widening your range strictly because you are card dead. Just keep playing your game and maintaining your range. You’re not a nit because you refuse to play absolute garbage, and if you aren’t a nit to begin with and the table believes you to be one then this will work to your advantage.
You block AK, AA, KK all of which are expected to 3b anyways pre. Having said that, there remains 1 combo of AA, 1 combo of KK, 3 combos of 77. While he’s repping an extremely narrow range, part of that is made up of worse 2 pairs. The only other hands he may ever show up with are some suited pairs with backdoor combo draws, while his range is extremely narrow, folding to this stack depth is disastrous. If your question is between flatting or jamming, I live jamming the flop. If he shows up with some BDFD + pair/SD combos you’re going to want to deny equity even though he’s essentially committed at this point. Unlucky result I guess he ends up showing up with one of the few combos that have you beat, even then you still have some equity against. Cooler.
