Qwik question bout SH play
 

Mathematically how would you figure what the pot needs to be worth to validate calling with 2nd top pair? I gues what I am asking is there must be a specific formula no?
You can use any limit structure that you like as there all the same with concern to math.

I usually get involved with hands worse than TP when the situation calls for it. Potsize isn't the determining factor, the action is.

Re: Qwik question bout SH play
 

Any formula like that is probably theoretical and doesnt exist in the real-world. The variables here are: pot size, the specific board cards, your specific hole cards, the current street, the probability of certain cards falling next, the previous action, the likely future action, the playing tendencies of your opponents, the time of day, the current lunar cycle... etc.
