Well, bummer you 3-bet (although I guess if you didn't, you wouldn't be here. Calling that flop stinks). If you check, I assume he won't bet there at 10/20. You probably don't want to risk a river check. If you think a turn bet will fold this guy, I like checking the turn, expecting him to check behind. And then betting any river. If he bets that turn, you're a lucky, lucky man.

Re: Art\'s little hand of the week.
 

I don't think you have enough equity to justify 3 betting and I don't think your going to knock anyone out with that 3 bet, so I'd just call.

So you're buying less than 1/3 of 3 outs in a ~12SB pot

I believe this isn't quite correct because on those times where you actually ARE forcing out another king then there are only 2 kings left.

So you have 3 king outs 'normally' but the raise is effectively attempting to 'buy' one-third of only 2 outs.



I guess if the king comes we don't really care how many there are left....we just care whether that other guy is still in the hand or not and could have a better king.
I think that somewhere in there the point I'm trying to make is valid...but it's really late and I'm not sure of much of anything at this point.

Callings the worst of the options in my view.

Re: Art\'s little hand of the week.
 

Um, I hope the question was... "I bet... but while I'm waiting to see whether or not button raises, calls, or folds, should I take a sip of coffee or a bite of donut?"

Because the answer is clearly: donut.

And I you clicked "check" here's a slappin'.

Re: Art\'s little hand of the week.
 

Why do you think calling is the worst option? You have 4 clean outs, the BD flush, and maybe 6 tainted ones. If this is button free card play so be it, you want to see the turn and river cheaply. I'd just call.
