Bob Ciaffone is the author of the best book on big bet poker available.
That doesn't make him a god, but he knows his stuff. His answers are very
dense; I had to read them a few times to get what he was saying. But,
there's an important point that goes directly to what you end with: You
have to get his chips when you flop the best hand!
If you go back to the original post, you see that I have the best hand.
I'm a slight favorite, but a favorite nonetheless. Bob's most important
point: almost all of the time, a mere ace or queen is good but I don't
know which one. You get the money in as a favorite almost all the time,
even without fold equity.
Like I said to someone else: yes, I want to get my money is a huge
favorite too. But, I want to get my money in as a baby favorite. As long
as I am favorite — that's all that matters.
