Relative hand strengths.
By dobieatwar on June 5th, 2009 (more posts by author)

Look at these 2 hand histories. One I have a fairly weak hand, but call huge bets based on my read. One I have a super strong hand (top set) and getting 4.5-1 I find a fold. Lastly, what is a guy calling 40% of his stack set mining with QQ against my range for 4-betting UTG LRRs (the range is AA).
