Re: Gutschot chase correct according to pot odds?
n00b, you're not by any chance related to David_C, are you? My head hurts. Why do you call 15:1 75:5, but then use the simpler notatation later in your dissertation?
This is a really simple hand. Don't worry about implied odds until the pot odds aren't right to call.
Preflop is fine.
On the flop you've got around 11-12:1 to hit your hand on the turn, but you don't have 13 opponents, so you can't bet for value. When it gets back to you, tho, you're getting 15:1 from the pot, so you call. Why would you discount an 8? Oh, you think an 8 is in someone's hand. That's ridiculous. You can't read hands with that kind of precision, so either you're being influenced by the results or you've got MUBS. Either is bad.
On the turn, you're at around 14:1 (correctly removing the 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] from your outs) and the situation hasn't changed from the flop. Check/call one back.
