Odds to Chase?
This was an interesting hand for me. I limped in CO-1 with 56s and it was raised behind me. The flop left me with a gutshot straight draw. I was about to fold when I realized I had the odds to call, and that continued to the river. Anybody play this any differently?

Re: Odds to Chase?
On the flop, I would probably only call it 3 or 3.5 outs. How good do you feel about your hand if the 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] hits the turn and BB goes crazy? I still think this call is okay though.
On the turn, I am probably done with this hand. The odds are close if you are considering hitting the straight, but with the 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] maybe not helping you and possibly losing to a full house even if you hit on the end, I would probably fold. You really need close to 11 to 1 odds of winning when you hit to make a gutshot profitable. |

Re: Odds to Chase?
Your gutshot is only worth 3-3.5 outs, due to the flush draw.
The board pairing on the turn devalues your hand more than you realize, and I fold. |

Re: Odds to Chase?
Gutshots are 10:1 based on card odds on the next cards, but I give it a 7:1 implied odds on a rainbow flop, 3.5 to 1 implied on 2 over cards and gutshot, but then discount it to 14:1 if the flop is two suited. You did you have 18 to 1 on the flop, making it correct to draw technically.. but, you got lucky in my opinion. There were 5 people to act behind you, any of them could have easily value bet raised on a flush draw or any other reason. That would have made your crappy draw even more crappier and trapping you into calling more than you'd like. I personally would never chase a gutshot to the river, no matter what kind of odds I had.. unless there were other out possibilities, such as an improvement to a backdoor flush draw.

Re: Odds to Chase?
fold the turn. someone could easily raise this behind you and kill your slim odds.
the board pairing isn't a big factor compared to the 4 of flushes discount (at least 50% discount.. maybe 75%-90%) and your relative position troubles. the board pairing may discount all your outs by 5%.. J4 or an existing boat are not too common. a T on board and I may discount it 15%-20%. i rarely think of specific discounting numbers tho.. i probably should. |

Re: Odds to Chase?
I'd fold the flop. The spectre of the preflop raiser raising after me catching me in between has me picking a better spot to chase. You're drawing to a hand that might not win even if you hit.

[/ QUOTE ] Weird, the forum isn't showing your entire message. I wonder why? Anyway, how do you think about someone raising behind you when you face a pot odds situation like I did on the turn? My reasoning was that no one had shown any particular aggression so far, so I thought a raise was unlikely. If it did happen, my pot odds were still going to be close for calling the raise. So I went ahead and called the bet. -- Scott |
