Default Re: Results not important, please critique flop and turn play

I still think that call is a no brainer. There is almost always a 10% chance that an opponent in this position will be bluffing the straight.

You don't need to do the heavy math on the fly. Just ask yourself, when your set appears busted and you have to make a call, am I getting 3:1 on my money? If not, is it real close, like within 10% of 3:1? If so I would almost always make the call. Even if it turns out for that particular player that there was no chance he was bluffing, your lost EV has metagame benefits. If you get bluffed off big pots at the river often you will lose a lot of money at this game.
