SB w/ A7h. EP limper, button limps, I call, BB calls.
Flop: Jh9hXo I check-raise the field after the BB bets, all call.
Turn: To I check, BB bets, EP raises, button cold calls. I fold my nut draw, knowing that I am getting the proper odds to call. 110-20= 5.5-1, for a 4.5-1 shot.

I feel this decision is all about MATH. First of all, if I call here the BB, who has showed strengh so far in the hand, still has to act which may mean another 10$ to 20$ call on my part. Two of my outs arent clean. And I felt that the button may have also been on a flush draw. If this is the case, then what is normally figured as a 9 outer is really a 5 outer.

So now we just have to figure the implied odds. If I hit my heart I can probably get at least two calls. However, if the button IS on a flush draw I may be able to pick up a bunch of bets here on the river. I dont exactly know how to calcutlate implied odds but after thinking about this hand for a couple of days I think that I may have made a bad fold. Comments?

I already did all this math for you in your original thread.

wait, so everyone told you that it was a terrible fold, so you come to a different forum so they can sugarcoat it and tell you that you played well?

get over yourself. you'll never be a decent player until you can learn to admit when you screw up

So, contrary to all the commentary in the psychology forum, Dynasty's slap upside the head didn't get through after all?

Since the first 20 people telling you it was a horrible fold didn't sink in, let me now make it 21. Horrible fold. /images/graemlins/blush.gif
