Re: drill me for this one..
The flop raise is much better than a flop call if you're going to play this, and I think with the size of the pot, middle pair, and a 5 outer, you should.
If you think it's unclear with the math,...

Re: Is this hand unprotectable?
You're closing the action, and if you raise now everyone will call, so I would just call and try to raise the turn. One of two things will happen:
1. you will cause some people to fold the turn...

My last reply may have been confusing. But I think:
EVcheck = (pot)*(our equity in pot)*(his bluff raise percent)
If he's bluffing 30% of the 76% of the time he doesn't have a Q,...

Re: QJo in SB
I think you can make a thin value bet on the river. You're getting 2:1 on the bet, and because of the turn action I don't expect that you will get raised. The pot is fairly big and your opponents...

Re: A6o
Why would you call this? The backdoor straight isn't worth enough, and you're probably drawing to 3 outs. Even if you aren't drawing to 3 outs you have reverse implied odds as the raiser has to be...

Re: standard or did i miss a couple bets?
You're getting 9:1 on the flop closing the action, which gives you a marginal call for a 5 outer (which is 8.4:1 for 1 card). The problem is that there's a 2 flush on board and 2 broadway cards, so...

If it's really a coin flip, and you are 20-1 half the time and 4-1 to come in half the time, then you're overall at about 12.5% -- 7:1.
