Default Re: Hand to Talk About

One point to make is that against someone who will raise with all his hands, and if there was no betting from the flop on, it would make sense to call in this spot with any two cards since I'm getting 3-to-1 (not 5-to-1 as you wrote).

Dear Mason, to count the odds you're recieving on the flop you need to take the bets going into the pot preflop and add the bet SB puts in on the flop. In this case this equation will result in 5 small bets. When you then decide whether or not to call you need to take the pot size on the flop (5 small bets) in relation to the number of small bets you need to put in the pot to call (1 small bet). In this case 5-to-1.

Best wishes,
Pharity
