Not really. With the river it works out, obviously, but imagine if river comes a brick.

true, but with that flop he's not going to get much action even if someone has a set, which in that case Im not so sure I want alot of action.

I think its +EV for the K to come... win ~30 when no one calls a real bet, or get the king to come and have a 20ish% chance of winning between 200 and 325 dollars...

200 -> 325 /5 = 40->60 > 30

Can I ask a newb question?

Was MP1 right to call the two turn all ins?

Another fun hand though at much lower stakes.
Also - a lesson why not to give a free card.

Thats a damn good question, Im not sure he is... he has to call 90 dollars with what he has to assume is 0% chance to win, and a 1/5 chance to lose, if he assumes someone has spades. I make this call if either of the all in'ners has made any suspect plays on the off chance that its only chopping 2 ways, but if everyone is solid, I dont know if I call... anyone else got any opinions? Also, do you call these pushes with AK spades in any of the positions if you had it on the turn??

You should have been at Party bad beat for that hand.

Woulda made a bundle. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Thats exactly what I thought. At best he is splitting, at worse he is letting people freeroll a river spade on his dime.

What about Button? If it's a rainbow board on the turn of course he's correct but wow.
