Seeding the pot
What do you guys think about calling a bet on a hand you are going to fold to make proper odds for a short stack to continue a draw?
Blinds 25/50
BB bets according to the odds he wants to get, button is a conservative player who bets when he has a hand.
SB $2000 (Ad4d)
BB $1000
CO $3000
Button $4000
CO folds, button raises preflop to $150, SB calls, BB calls.
Flop comes Ks 3s 7h.
SB checks, BB bets $50 (you put him on the nut flush draw), button raises to $800. Pot is now $1300, if SB folds the BB will be getting 1.6 to 1. If SB calls, BB will be getting the proper odds to call all-in. There is about a 65% chance that the BB will miss his draw and bust out, putting the SB in the money.
Assuming that the BB is indeed on the nut flush draw, do you think this is a +EV play on the part of the SB to call?
