Re: Still have a lot to learn : QTs x 2
Hi Gonores,

Hand 2
You have the odds to call and pray for the board to pair here.

Assuming that the check-raiser just calls the 3 bet, and doesn't cap it himself, Guy is getting 17:2, or 8.5:1 on his call. However, he is drawing to a *split* pot, so his odds are actually cut in half, so he's getting more 4:1 on his call to chase a 6-outer, which needs 7:1. This alone means that the call is not worthwhile assuming he is against a better Queen. Add in the fact that 99 or 44 are likely holdings for his opponents, and he doesn't have very many outs to a split pot at all.
I am not saying he should fold his hand, although I probably would, but in order to continue, he must think he has the best hand.
