LOL. Nuff said.

Re: 30/60 Jamming the turn
 

To fold an 8-Q of clubs from UTG's hand, mainly. Basically, here's my reasoning:
You can't possibly fold here, so the 3bet is an investment of 1 more BB into an 11.5BB pot that you will sometimes improve to win. If it can ever, ever happen that you take the pot down here, and I mean ever like 2% of the time, thats significant. If you can get UTG to fold a higher club, a 7, or a 9, thats also huge. I haven't done the math and its hard to say what reasonable asssumptions to base that math on would be, but I think the 3bet comes out to be better than a call.

Huh?? You're trying to get him to fold a single hand? And you think a loose UTG will fold a Q high flush?? And what makes you think UTG has a flush?

Alright, let's go through the math. There are 10.25 BB in the pot (no clue where you're getting 11.5) when the action is to the BB. So if you think 3-betting the turn is right just because the others might fold, you need them to fold at least 9 percent of the time. There's no way you will take it down right here that often. But of course, a reasonable assumption is that the BB also has 0-5 outs. The problem, of course, is that even 4 outs is not enough. So the BB would have to assume that he has 5 outs or more to make even a call correct, much less a 3-bet.

Again, I stand by my original statement that this sort of play is -EV high-variance chip spewing.

You're trying to fold a higher flush draw by representing a made flush or a higher flush draw card. Make sense now?

Re: 30/60 Jamming the turn
 

Not Q8c exactly. A club of rank between 8 and Q (if he folds A or K thats also great, but he won't).
I should have said its an 11.25 BB pot; counted the SB wrong. But its 11.25 not 10.25 because if we're deciding between calling and raising (you apparently think a fold is in order? if so i think you're nuts) one more bet of ours is effectively already in the middle.
Finally, your estimate of 0-5 outs is absurdly low. We have an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw and 2 more outs to a set. If we go to the river heads up with the CO, of the hands we can reasonably expect him to have, only a made flush (which has us drawing dead) has us drawing to much fewer than 6 outs. Against the hand you actually had, for instance, the BB had 14 outs.

Did the CO magically disappear or something? He's the one who raised the turn, so why do you think that he doesn't have a made flush or even a big club? It turned out in this case that he didn't, but I claim that this is pretty rare.

You're right that BB will very likely get UTG to fold a Qc (though not an Ac or maybe even a Kc), but there are two opponents here.

Alright, let's go through it again. There are 6.25 BB in the pot at the beginning of the turn. BB bets, UTG calls, CO raises -- so 4 BB have gone in the pot since the beginning of the turn. BB is now getting 10.25:1, correct? Please don't tell me you're counting bets that you haven't yet put into the pot as part of your odds. The only way I can see you getting 11.25:1 is that you're assuming that UTG will call too, but then you should also realize that he'll 3-bet some fraction of the time because he'll be the one with the made A high flush.

I think counting a 7 high flush draw as outs is ridiculously optimistic. It just won't happen that often in this specific situation where the CO has shown aggression on the turn. I happened to have had one of only three hands I could have had that didn't have a big club (or any club). But alright, let's say you have at most 8 outs. Your call is +EV, but your raise still isn't.

I'm comparing calling and raising. In other words I'm trying to decide if its worth putting an additional bet into the 10.25 BB pot beyond the 1 I'm putting in to call. Not counting the 1 BB that goes in for the call is doing the math wrong.

You're wrong. If BB can get it heads up going to the river this flush should frequently be good. Why is TT one of only 3 hands you can have that don't contain a dominating club? Or, more generally, what do you feel the CO's hand range is, and why?

[/ QUOTE ]

If he had the made flush, he'd likely have reraised the flop with his flush draw + likely at least 1 overcard. Especially if hes a TAG.

He might have a big club. He might not be putting you on a flush as you did a protection raise on the flop. If he/or UTG caps, then you have a decision to make.
