hmmmm....i guess that's why they call it a no-brainer -- don't have to listen to either side [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] (i need to go to bed) |

this a prime example of gambling for first when it gets down to three players. jj is still a monster in this spot. i would go for the high prize rung and push it.

Well if you lost this pot, you would finish 2nd half the time and 3rd the other half if you are all 33% to win. EV = 33%. Of course you would want to play if you had a significant edge here, but you could also be up against it too. Tough to call.
If you duck out of the way, your EV = .5*.33 + .3*.66 = 36.7% Fold unless you think that you are better then about 45% to win the pot. This will be rare. Brad Edit - It will not be rare to have enough equity to call here, though it is thin. |

I fold here but if I had them both covered I would probably call.

If you duck out of the way, your EV = .5*.33 + .3*.66 = 36.7% [/ QUOTE ] i hate this logic, because JJ has at least 50% equity against the other two hands in the threeway pot. i would estimate it at about 60 percent. assume 1st gives 5, 2nd gives 3, and 3rd gives 2 by gambling here: it's (.6*5)+(.5*2), which gives you an EV of 4 buyins therefore, you should only not fold when you think you can beat this guy more than half the time. yes, you're prob better than him, but with the blinds this way (and rapidly escalating), i don't give you better than a 40% chance of overcoming. feel free to dispute my math, esp. JJ's equity to win the hand threeway like that. |

You are way off with the 60% estimate. It will oftentimes have 45% though.
It is about 45% against AK and 66. Likewise against AK and AQ. The only way to get huge equity is when you are up against two hands like 88 and 44 (over 60) or AK and AT (this is like 55 at best). It is 45 against any pair/AT+ for both players. Brad |

3 handed I call.
4 handed I fold. |

consider that stacks are 10BB deep and blinds are about to rise
bluefeet needs to help us with some reads, but i would push the first raiser on any pair, any ace, any kind, and any coordinated pair of cards (like 87s up to QJo). The second overcaller likely has any pp , A9 or higher, and KJ or better. I would easily put JJ at 60% against that range, no? |
