Okay, so Im going to play the retard here (as Im sure this is retardely simple). I just need a little help because what Im punching in isnt working.
How did he get the numbers in Bold below? (from HERE (http://archiveserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=560235&page=&view=&sb=5&o =&fpart=all&vc=1)):

I'm getting an immediate 15.5:1 on my call. Against a set, I'll river a winner once every 21 times, so I'm losing 5.5 BB's every 21 occurances, for an average of -.38 BB's per occurance. If he has 2 pair Queens and Jacks, I'll river a winner once every 5.5 times, so I'm winning 10 BB's every 5.5 occurances, for an average of +1.82 BB's per occurance. So if I only give my opponent this hand-set, my call is profitable if he has a set less than 82.7% of the time. Do you think it's higher than that?
If so, add in my implied odds. Let's say I give myself 2 BB's worth for hitting my set, and .5 BB worth for hitting my 2-pair (since I'd only check and call, and sometimes will still lose to a set). Reasonable estimations, in my opinion. Now that number goes up to 90.95% (-.19 BB/occurance and +1.91 BB/occurance, respectively). Do you think he have a set more often than 90.95% of the time here?? If so, add into the hand-set an AQ that is planning to check through the river unimproved, which is definitely a slight possibility.
