Default Re: AKo - Call a turn raise and fold to river bet

[ QUOTE ]
Sure, you're probably losing, but you're not losing anywhere near the 91%-93% of the time it would take to make this a -EV call.

Sure you are. You don't win this 7% of the time when the SB bets into you AND there are two players left to act AND there are four to a straight on board.

Calling the SB's river bet and folding to a raise is certainly an option, but I prefer folding outright. You're just not going to win this showdown often enough. A call is slightly -EV in the long run. But only slightly. Call only if you think you'll go on tilt if you end up mucking the winner (which will happen LESS than 7% of the time...much less at this game).
