Default Re: Hold\'em Odds

The important thing is what type of hand you put your opponent on, and if there were other people int the pot.

Here's a good example of a similar ( but more complicated ) hand I had last night and re-ran on PokerTracker.

I have AA on the button, and raise 3 limpers, who all call.

Flop in 7,8,9 in 3 suits. There is a bet by a early position limper, 1 fold and 1 call. I raise, both only call. My assumption that they were on straight draws was correct. One had 66, the other Q,10 suited.

The turn was not a scare card for the straight card, but as it turns out gave the Q,10 suited a flush draw.

Little did I know it, but I was down to about a 45% of winning the pot v.the field. Any 5(4),10(3),J(4),6(2) or flush card had me beat.

The river was a 10.

Just an example of when it gets comlicated.
