playing 3/6 about two weeks ago at Canterbury and I get pocket 7's -
Now, at late night poker at Canterbury, if you get quad 7's, you get $7777 dollars provided the two 7's are in your hand. - flop comes with nothing, but I'm thinking I could go runner runner, so I call one player's bet
Turn comes a 7 - call again (I don't want to raise, since if they bust out, you don't get the money) - and river a blank, but I call the bet and win the hand.
but now I'm thinking and I'm getting some math wrong probably - - but if I look at implied odds - I THINK I'm getting card odds of 1081/1 (2/47 on the turn and 1/46 on the river) - on making runner runner perfect 7's - but on the flop, it would cost me 3 bucks for an implied pot of $7777, or 2592/1 - not to account for the times when I trip up like I did anyways... -
so even in a 6/12 game it might be profitable to see a turn card with 77, correct? -
Just trying to get a feel for these odds situations - I won't gamble on suited connectors for a jackpot, but the number of times I'll get 77 are as often as I'll get AA, so if it does end up being slightly -EV short term, in theory, it's mega +EV over yrs. - (not like I plan on living that long.)
