Phil Galfond HSA Review (3)

Discussion for Phil Galfond HSA Review (3).

in the AQ hand where you decide to flat preflop, when you get squeesed do you think the majority of the value from that situation comes from your opponenents squeesing and folding to a 4bet or from when they shove over your 4bet? if it's from them folding dont you think you have enough other hands in your flatting range (like pp's and bluffs) that can backraise?

eddddge, though much of the value comes from catching players squeezing behind me, there is a lot of value in having a deceptive hand in a single raised pot.

I do agree that the player who opened makes a difference, whether he calls 3bets or not.
