Default Re: Live 10/20 Question

That it is wise in a limit game to pay 2 bets with 33?


[/ QUOTE ]


If the OP had 33 instead of 79s this is the easiest call ever. Why? Hero is getting about 8-1 to hit his set. The set will come about 1/9 times (i think) Hero will get plenty of action after he hits. Hero has redraws to a boat should he get outdrawn on the turn.

The question you need to be asking is "will i get about 11 or 10X the money i'm putting in if i hit?"

You figure this out by seeing how much is already in the pot.
Who you're playing against (their betting behaviors)
your position, absolute and relative


BTW, you need more than 8x the money your putting in 'cause you will get outdrawn from time to time.
