Gutshot draw

[Riposte]

Ok on the flop I had 17:1 pot odds, so my gutshot draw call seemed justified. Should I have folded to the raise on the turn though? I didn't have 11:1 pot odds anymore.

Yeah, thats just not a good turn call. You're getting 6.5:1 odds on an 11.5 shot. Not good. If it was the A /images/graemlins/heart.gif, you would absolutely call.

The flop call is good not only because of the pot odds, but because of your relative position.

Nice river.

I disagree that the turn call was necessarily bad. The A gives him a double gutshot, any 2 or 6 gives him a straight. so he's something like 1:5.63.

You're right, I completely missed that.

It looks like a good place for a check raise on the flop. It takes control of the hand, and on this board your draw is well disguised.

The Ad on the turn means that you have 6 clean outs - easy call.
