this happened and am interested to what some of you would do?
i was at foxwoods, after playing roughly 13hrs of 10-20, i find myself in a 1/2 nlhe 100 max buy in game, having some fun before i call it a day/night/session etc.... it is 7amish and the table is 5-6 handed with some of the regular young dudes who like to get loud and play around with people they dont know or believe they can intimidate ie, chris, joe, D(think daren). anyways, couple limpers to me in sb with th8c i complete the sb checks. flop comes ts 9d 2d, the bb has around $40 is and is brand new to poker, i have him well covered. i put a ~$10 bet out there. to which he goes all in to me. i ponder, i am playing loose, having fun, and am showing down at most reasonable opportunities. i call his bet. he has td 6d. i dont like my spot here, and dont feel i have the edge i feel comfortable being all in with and will be sweating to dodge each incoming card(not to this degree per the stakes, but the senses are still the same). here is the probability part. chris(if you have been to foxwoods you know who is he, tall(bigfoot) young loud kid) stops the dealers burn and turn, and asks me if i want a side bet? he will lay me odds on the kid winning the hand. i ask what odds he will give. he replies i put up $30 to your $25. now, i am delriously tired, not capable regardless of mindsight to figure out the exact odds of this without some tools(paper, pen, computer..etc.) i play this one by feel. i decline, and didnt bother with haggling for better odds. i didnt like being this heavily invested in this hand at this point, and a $5 overlay was not worth in my mind risking the additional $25 on a hand i felt i was aptly able to lose or chop. if i was able to consult and think this through thoroughly, i now believe i should have taken this bett???????
