Is the idea that its more likely a (bad) player bullying with a shite hand to win a couple blinds than a quality hand where they would be trying to get more from an opponant after the flop?

Don’t forget in my example I’m playing heads up sit and go! On a 10 man table it would be different story… 60% seems a good approximation, but it’s not clear cut theory

Ty for reading and for sure I accept off topic comments!!!

Unless I’m missing something calling with AK is negative EV.

Really not important as far this article goes, just something I didn’t understand.

I fixed it. You can re-read the article, it might make more sense now!

Sorry!
