Never Draw to an Inside Straight
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls. Flop: (20.50 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> BB checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls, BB calls, MP1 calls. Turn: (12.75 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> BB checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button calls, MP1 calls. River: (21.75 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button folds, MP1 calls. Final Pot: 23.75 BB The key was calling 2 bets back to me preflop. I was getting over 6:1 on the call, and 64s is 3.7:1 to flop a 2 pair or better made hand + at least an 8 out draw. On the flop, I figured I had 5-6 outs with the gutshot and backdoor flush draw. Thankfully, the guy who flopped a set merely check-called the flop so I got to see the turn getting 20:1 odds. Gotta love 2-4 players. The rest is history - I get called a "moron" for playing "trash", etc. |

Re: Never Draw to an Inside Straight
Even if it was 2 bets to you on the flop you would have been able to call getting 10-1 to hit a 5. But then there are 10 cards to beat you on the river. nh

Re: Never Draw to an Inside Straight
You can fold in the cutoff with a suited 1 gapper after 2 limpers if you don't like money. I mean, what the hell are you waiting for?
As I said, with a suited 1 gapper you are 3.7:1 to flop: 2 pair, trips, a boat, 4 of a kind, a straight, a flush, an 8 out straight draw on an unpaired board that is not 3 flush against you, or a 9 out flush draw on an unpaired board I assume all of you agree those are flops worth playing in a multiway pot in good position. With 2 limpers plus the blinds, I am getting 3.5:1 on the call, almost exactly 3.7:1. My good position makes up for the difference, plus the likelihood the SB completes. When it comes back to me, it is $4 to call with $25 in the pot - 6.25:1. Again, you can fold a suited 1 gapper for $4 in good position with a monster multiway pot brewing, but only if you hate money. |
