Poker Video: No Limit Hold'Em by Grindcore (Micro/Small Stakes)

I don't get it.. (likely it's just me missing important part in reasoning), But how can backraise All-in here be plus +ev?? The sqz is flipping or chrusing us if we get it in. It's not better to call to hit set and stack lower sets or get value from hands like AJ+, when we hit and the flop somes A and/or K-high??

Thanks

There's $27 in the pot. If they fold, we win that uncontested. That's a lot more $ than we make by calling. And 99 has pretty decent equity against their callingranges. But mostly we'll get folds. BB is often light and BU would often 4b better hands than ours. Also, setmining OOP isn't as profitable as you think and could even be -EV.

Ok now I get it, it makes sense for me now.. Thx.

Then I assume you're also backraise All-in with AK and QQ+, what is your range?

It depends. I might not flat those preflop to begin with. AA is less vulnerable and it might be better to slowplay it again. The video was recorded too long ago for me to remember anything but if you keep watching the rest of the series I'm sure you'll find all sorts of preflop spots where I state my reasoning.

hand range
i would say he probably has a weak middle pair or busted straight draw, i would probably call with 6a or better
