HandsCannot Simply Be Ranked

FromStrongest To Weakest

핸드는 간단하게 강한핸드와 약한 핸드로 순위를 매길 수 없다.

Sincehaving more equity does not necessarily make a hand better, hands cannot beranked from strongest to weakest. This means that different types of holdingswill be useful in different spots and we must not get in the habit of thinkingsome hands are always better than others. This is especially true preflop sincea slight change in stack depth or position can significantly impact theexpected value of a hand

더 많은 에쿼티를 갖고 있다고 해서 핸드가 항상 더 좋은 것은 아니기 때문에, 핸드들을 강한 핸드부터 약한 핸드로 순위를 매길 수는 없다. 이것은 다양한 상황에서 다양한 종류의 핸드가 유용할수 있으며, 습관적으로 특정 핸드가 다른 어떤 핸드들 보다 항상 더 좋다고 생각해서는 안된다. 이는 특히 프리플랍에서 스택 사이즈나 포지션 등의 약간의 변화로도 핸드의 가치에 상당한 영향을 미친다.

For instance, against a button opener whohas a wide range, a hand like king-ten offsuit

will work muchbetter as a call from the big blind than a hand like seven-five suited.

That’s because cold callingwith king-ten offsuit keeps the button’s weaker kingsand

tens in his rangewhile 3-betting would make most of them fold. Since the button’s

opening range is sowide, we do not need to make an extremely strong hand by the river

to usually have thebest hand and win a reasonable sized pot. But seven-five suited plays

less effectively asa call since it will more often flop the second best pair which includes making the same pairbut with a weaker kicker.

 예를 들어, 넓은 레인지의 버튼 오픈에 대해서 KTos 같은 핸드들은 75sqhek 빅블라인드 에서 콜 하기 좋다. 왜냐하면 KTos 로 콜드 콜링 하는 것은, 3벳 했다면 폴드하였을 버튼의 약한 Kx 나 Tx를 계속 팟에 남아있게끔 할 수 있다. 버튼의 오픈 레인지가 넓기 때문에 우리는 리버에서 까지 극도로 강력한 핸드일 필요는 없으며, 대게 베스트 핸드로서 상당한 크기의 팟을 가져올 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 75s는 콜한다면, 우리는 플랍에서 잘해야 세컨 페어를 플랍할 것이며, 이마저도 더 약한 키커를 가지고 있는 핸드일 것이다.

On the other hand,seven-five suited will play much better in a 3-bet pot than king-ten

offsuit. Here,stronger hands are required to win at showdown than in raised only pots,

and seven-fivesuited has the potential to make more very strong hands than king-ten

offsuit. Inaddition, this allows us to double barrel semi-bluff the turn effectively when

we hold a straightor a flush draw since if we hit our draw, we will almost always make

the best hand.Finally, there is the problem that 3 bets preflop greatly increases the

chances thatking-ten is “dominated” (by KK, TT, AK, AT, KQ, or KJ).

 반면에 75s는 3벳 팟에서 KTos보다 플레이 하기 좋다. 여기에서, 더 강한 핸드는 싱글 레이즈 팟에서 보다 더 쇼다운에서 이길 수 있어야 한다. 반면에 75s는 KTos보다 더 강한 핸드를 맞출 가능성이 있다. 추가적으로, 이는 우리가 턴에서 sd, fd 등을 가지고 있다면 드로우가 힛할 경우 거의 항상 베스트이므로 효과적으로 세미 블러프 더블 배럴할 수 있게 한다. 마지막으로, 프리 플랍 3벳은 KTos가 KK,TT,AK,AT,KQ,KJ 등에게 도미네잇되어있을 가능성을 증가 시킨다

We must rememberthat some hands will play better as calls and others will play better

as semi-bluffraises, and our job as a strong theoretical player will be to put hands into

the right ranges againsttough opponents. Unfortunately, there is no simple formula for

deciding which handsgo into what ranges, so we must understand no-limit theory well to

accomplish this task.

 우리는 어떤 핸드는 콜로 플레이 하는 것이 좋고 다른 어떤 것들은 세미 블러프 레이즈로 플레플 하는 것이 좋은지를 기억해야 한다. 그리고 포커 이론을 잘 정립하고 이를 사용하여 어려운 상대와 플레이 할 때 핸드들을 알맞은 레인지들에 넣을 수 있어야 한다. 핸드를 어떤 레인지에 넣어야 하는지를 결정하는 간단한 공식은 없기 떄문에, 우리는 노-리밋 이론을 잘 이해하고 있어야만 한다.
