Default Re: Should I call for this one outer?

I don't know exactly how much was in the pot, but it wasn't small...

not to be a jerk but this might prove to be a problem if you plan on playing poker well.

Yeah, he said my implied odds were huge, which I think makes it a little bit closer...but not close enough

implied odds for what? assuming you knew that you only had one out... how on earth are you going to make up the rest of the bets on the river to cover peeling for a 45:1 shot?

assuming no one raises after you call the first time on the turn... you need to make up around 35 bets! assuming you call the second time around getting 15:1 (and not even closing the action and pretending it didn't cost you multiple bets on this street) you still need to make up around 30 bets on the river. so even if it's capped, on the river you won't get there....thus, you have no implied odds for a one outer.

granted, sometimes you have more than one out on this board... but in this hand in particular you actually have plenty of things working against you since your other outs area dubious at best and spiking a two or rivereing a straight is just going to cost you a bunch more bets.

count the pot, know the odds, fold the turn.
