I cant guess the number of times I have seen an ep raise, with 1 or 2 callers then someone over shoves all in with J7 or 24s or 63s or A2o and have to show their cards because someone had a monster...

it is happening so frequently i think it may be time to start calling with KQ or AJ or 99... sure you may be behind some times, but the times you are ahead has got to be a good enough amount where getting your KQ in here is beneficial...

I know the old theory you dont want to call with KQ or AJ because you will be dominated a lot but with the trend over the last month of the habitual 4bet all in with garbage is it time to change this thinking?

Isn't the answer to the question obvious. Of course you have to open up your call range otherwise it will be costing you ev. Guess its a matter of playing the man somewhet too, if the guy is tighter than a nun's ***** then obviously you are folding a lot, if he's doing this often then obviously you call a lot more hands.
