I think the point isn't to do the calculations in your head when you are sitting there in the heat of battle. The idea is to do the calculations off line (as we are now) so the next time you are in a similar situation you can make the right decision without doing the calculations.

agreed - although im sure there are some people who are odds masters and just crunch that [censored] like a computer [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

You really don't need to do exact calculations at the table. If a situation appears close then what you do will have very little effect on your longterm result either way.

Out of curiousity, how'd that raise happen, when you raise a $35 bet to $50? Don't you have to raise to $60 there?

I had a similar situation, though it was less clear cut; I raised him (at the same time pot-committing myself) and he moved in and I had to call a little more. Turns out he had KK with no heart draw. I think overcards with no heart are very rare here, given his flop bet.

BB bets $35, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $50</font>, BB calls $15 (all-in).

I think the fact that BB overbet makes it very very easy for him to have AA no heart. I'm calling with 14 outs and dead money.
