I Instacalled this with bad odds as a 2 to 1 dog
 

Table is playing extremely slow. I am runinng over the table and stealing blinds nearly every hand and havn't faced many reraises in a while. Villain on this hand has probably been the main focus of my bullying, as i've been popping him preflop, taking pots from him on the flop and turn, etc.

Given my stack, reads, and table conditions, would call this? Another important thing to note: I have stolen about 600 thousand in preflop blind steals and pickin up bigger pots on the flop, so this hand is almost like a freeroll.

Not quite 2 to 1, but it's close enough. Thoughts?

I'd instacall it with just about any two in that position. I'm guessing he had A-K through A-J.

I think you are getting better than 2-1. I call. The chance that you are dominated is not that great and you are only significantly below pot odds against AA-JJ. I don't know how tight this guy is, but he shouldn't need a monster to play back at you 4-handed.

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 65.2499 % 64.96% 00.29% { 88+, AJs+, KQs, AJo+, KQo }
Hand 2: 34.7501 % 34.46% 00.29% { T9s }


You're a 1.88:1 dog against this range, and the pot's laying you 1.79:1. His range could be tighter, but it also could be looser. As I remember, he seemed to be getting pretty annoyed with you. Considering that this will likely lessen people playing back at you, that it won't hurt your stack much if you lose, and that you've got the chance to knock somebody out, I like the call.

I get 1.97:1 pot odds. 61 to call, 85 from the SB, 24 that you have in, 8 from the BB, and 2 from the antes. So 61 to win 119: 1.97:1.

I discovered at some point that rounding can really screw these things up significantly. I honestly keep windows calculator out while I play now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

That 171K final pot can't be right. There is 171K just fromm hero and SB. What happened to the additional 10K from the BB and antes?

Re: I Instacalled this with bad odds as a 2 to 1 dog
 

final pot is actually 1804048. converter doesn't account for antes, i guess.
