Default Re: Nut flush draw w/ mid pair....

[ QUOTE ]
Here's the situation:

Live game. 7-handed, $20 buyin, .25/50 blinds

Hero is holding A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in MP.

One limper in front of me, I make it 1.50 to go.
Everyone folds except the big blind, who just calls.

Villain is very aggressive, but not an awful player. Will call down some big hands with top pair, medium kicker. For the most part, a LAG.

Pot (about $4).
Flop comes:
Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Villain bets $4,
Hero raises to $8
Villain pushes all-in for something like $15 more

(pot is now at $24)

Hero ???

Also, what do you do in the same situation with nut draw and bottom pair instead of midpair?
...


(I folded here. The villain was VERY aggressive, which made me want to call. Did I make the right move?)

11 outs, assuming the ace isn't a clean out. 40% ish, given the pot very easy no brainer call. 12 outs assuming he has top two, with the ace being an out. A full 14 outs assuming both 10 and Ace are live outs. Only time you don't call here if you KNOW he has a set.

Makes no difference middle or bottom pair if you figure yourself to be behind and needing to make either flush, trips or two pair to win. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if he's pushing his flush draw.

I think this is a bone-easy call.
