The hand is a top 13% hand. Not terrible but also not great. We're not going to be all that far behind, but we're also never ahead with this hand. Even against these sick ranges.

Imo the key thing here is that it's going to be really hard to realise whatever equity we have. If we flop big we won't get paid off enough and if we flop marginal it's going to be very hard to play.

I guess with this hand though, we're going to know right away whether we hit it big enough or not. Assuming we don't continue on gutters or single pair hands, and assuming we have good oop skills, I don't think this call is terrible. But lacking that, the easiest way out is obv to fold preflop. Not having a nut suit hurts us quite a bit, as we'd have a top 5% hand with a suited ace.

Agree, well said. It's not terrible unless you have trouble letting go of marginal hands post-flop or playing OOP multi-way. I'd definitely come along with that hand in position though, it just makes it so much easier/profitable.

If the 2 is a heart instead of a diamond, does this change our decision? What do you think?

Yea, against such an aggressive opponent a heart might make me stack off in-game.

Great vid. Bella is fun to listen to as he isn't afraid to contradict. I have to ask...is Bella related to a retired Canuck hockey player? Voice sounds very similar???
