Default Re: Another Hand Post

Preflop: I would tend to not raise there, but think raising is ok too. You have an above average hand to be sure, but if someone else has A2 their hand is almost certainly better than your ragged T7 sidecards. The nutflush draw is a great feature, but you don’t hit that very often and want others in for when you do.

Flop: I’d probably call, but its pretty close.
Yes you have 3 outs for low, 4 outs for a gutshot, and ~ 1 out for backdoor flush. So call it 8 outs for the turn. But that is if those outs are guaranteed to win. Sadly, someone else could have A2 to quarter you, someone could have AT to split, if you hit your gutshot then 2 of those 4 outs put an opposing twoflush on board, and no matter what, it’s quite likely some opponent has two pair or a set here to be betting. So I might discount those 8 outs down to maybe 5 outs after all that, so its probably worth calling at 9:1 plus implied odds and with good position, but its pretty close.

Turn: 3 outs, and you might split even then, so fold.
