stud high
 

I'm wondering about my 5th street play in particular. He's probably made queens up, but I've got a live ace and a 4 flush. Is that enough to call?

Easy call on 5th with the four flush and live ace. I probably would have completed when folded to me on third.

According to this it looks like you win 42% of the time.
Given the 3 BB's in the pot, calling is fine..

Do you know how to use two dimes? Here's the website:

Rolands too loose.

On 5th,Although Q's up is his most likely hand,he could have 4 Q's only or just a pr.of Q's & a straight draw.It looks like your implied odds are good enough ro stay,imo.You have 7 clubs left,which hit 28 of the time with 2 draws,& there are 4 1/2 BB's in there now + you get about 2 more on average when you hit.And it's possible that you may win with just 2 small pairs.

Correction."2" Q's only.

Is it odd I don't use sites like this ever? I probably should, but never do. Just not wired for numbers I guess...though I'm trying to at least play with these things a little in the future.

Re: stud high
 

Beer: you left out the dead clubs. If you put the guy on a Q's and J's, you also have to figure that the J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is possibly in his hand. This drops your average equity to around 36%--still good enough to chase with implied odds, I think.
