================================================== =========

On the flop i thought i had 4% chance to win but i have to pay only 0.50, so if I think the pot will be 12,50 or more at the river i have to call right?

I think you're neglecting the fact that you're going to have to pay anther $1 on the turn for your draw. I think you need to fold the flop.

You're absolutely right. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

better lucky than good ^_^

Somebody will say it soon anyway, but when you post hands you should use a converter and never post anybody's screen name in your postings.

You have to fold the flop - a backdoor 3 card straight will come in only 4% of the time, meaning that you're never going to have correct odds to draw. Let alone the fact you had to commit two big bets on the turn ( [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] cold-calling on the draw).

Good to see you did win a nice pot, but don't make plays like this a habit - you WILL lose bets in the long run by chasing this.
