Hi,
I'm just trying to evaluate some less clear-cut pot odds situations.
* Firstly I have a query about when you flop a 3 straight and 3 flush on the flop. I assume the way to work this out is 1/5x/15 + 1/5x1/5 = 0.08. What does this number mean? Does that mean i need pot odds of about 12:1 to continue?
* I'm also wondering what to do with those situations where an opponent has a hand but potentially not as strong as yours. Do you factor in their chances of improvement also?
Say for example, I have two overcards (AK) on the flop and they have flopped a small pair holding 65. I have 6 outs at beating their hand, but there is also a chance that they may improve to 2 pair or trips with their 5 outs.
Another example, I have a four flush on the turn versus a set. They have 10 outs to improve to quads or a boat. I have 9 outs to get my flush.
I would appreciate any advice on the above situations.
Thanks,
Max
