$22: Another mid pp problem
 
I think preflop is pretty standard, but what do you do on the flop and the turn. I'm almost certainly behind but:

- I have an OESD (probably with at least 1 ace dead)
- I close the action
- It's 125 to me with 660 in the pot
- Someone is going all in if I hit
- If I miss I still have ~600 chips

So do you like my play?

Fold to the first bet on the flop.

You're going to hit about 1/6 times and that's not counting the times a set or two pair redraw on you on the river if you hit.

You're barely getting the odds. I fold to the flop bet as well.

I have two rules for situations like this.

First, do you have correct odds to call for 1 card? Flop pot was ~ t300, a t125 bet, and call, makes the odds ~ 4.4:1 to call. This is just about right. Remember, hitting a T on the turn makes this hand even more challenging. Food for thought.

Next, is the bet amount to call, not an amount that will cripple my stack? Calling the flop bet is about 18% of your stack. Leaving you with t585 if you fold to a turn bet.

I think the second part of the test makes this a difficult hand to call with. Furthermore, the fact that only half of your outs give you the the nuts, makes me lean towards being a puss here.

I'm not the definite source on this. I'd be interested in knowing if there's a better solution. But in this short stacked game, there's little wiggle room. This flop is explosive.

You have the pot odds right here, now. U don't even need implied odds.

The real issue is not only odds, but also the potential redraws. This is the kind of flop where 2 pair right now is a real possibility. As I said, this is an explosive flop.

i missed the call. i think you can pretty much rule out implied odds here because of the amount of times we either a) get redrawn out on; or b) split the pot.

meh. i dunno. its late.
