Default Re: Checkraised on the flop with overcards

Here are some quick calculations, tell me if I'm off. I made the following assumptions:

10% drawing dead =0 outs
10% reverse dominated=3 outs
10% flush draw for opponent=3 outs (4 outs on turn but have to dodge heart on river)
70% drawing completely live=6 outs

(.1)(0)+(.1)(3)+(.1)(3)+(.7)(6)=3.6 outs

Round that to 3.75 and you are about a 11.5:1 dog, pot is laying you 8:1. Even if my number are off and you do have 4.5 outs as you assume, you are getting 9.5:1 on your call. The pot is small, so fold. If the pot was bigger, I'd be more inclined to call.

11.5 to 1 dog.

You'll pick up two more big bets on each of the next two streets, and maybe more if you hit.

That gets you to 12 to 1.

Which makes a call good.

Hitting and losing will be expensive and this takes that number down a little bit, but not that much.

So even given your estimates I think a call is okay.

And... on yeah.... your numbers don't add up. If hero has 70% chance of having all his outs live then .7 * 6 = 4.2 outs at least. (Your numbers should give 4.8 I think).

I don't mean to be too confrontational on this one; I do think it's close. But I think you have to be thinking very, very pessimistically to think that hero does not have enough equity to continue here.

This is live, so you can't fold. People remember that you folded to the check/raise on the flop and will take shots at you.

A good line is to flat call this check/raise every time, then mix up your game on the turn. Make him put in 2 bets when he's taking a shot at you, and either fold the turn UI or raise the turn improved.

too optimistic IMHO

villain's most likely hand is a split pair or nines. When you hit your K or J on the turn, villain will have a five out redraw. in that case 10% of the time you hit you lose.

Redraws should be consider but note that that only takes away maybe .2 of an out, because that only kicks into effect when all of the following are true: we hit a heart K or J on the turn; another heart hits the river; villain has a heart.


[/ QUOTE ]

you are forgetting that the times you are outdrawn (not just a flush but two pair and trips), you have reverse implied odds and will end up paying a lot more than 8-1 for the ride. I think you lost this fact in your conversion to .2 outs, however that was done.


I would fold this

Yeah, went the wrong way on my calculations. 4.8 is correct. As I said before, the fact that this is a small pot makes it a fold for me. It is close.

Everyone's input and different outlooks are appreciated. On this hand, I thought for a minute and folded. I felt that I was not getting the right price to draw to my 6 outs if they were even live.
