Re: to call or not to call? That is my question....
you're getting 975:475 odds if I read your post right.
Assume the bettor has AJ:
from twodimes:
pokenum -h as jd - ks td -- 8c 9h js
Holdem Hi: 990 enumerated boards containing Js 8c 9h
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
As Jd 573 57.88 405 40.91 12 1.21 0.585
Ks Td 405 40.91 573 57.88 12 1.21 0.415
in this case you're getting 9.75:4.75 pot odds while only a 58.5% to 41.5% dog.
EV = 0.415 x 975 - 0.585 x 400 = 404.625 - 234 = 170.625
Given the assumptions I made, I would probably go for it with the open-ender and overcard. You need the chips and the blinds are high for your stack size.
